A run of dominance is vague without the rivals that go neck to neck at every meet. Broncos have dominated for years and have more rivals than any other side. Here are the most prominent Denver Broncos Rivals.

1.Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos

The “I-70” rivalry as both the teams related to I-70. The Texans (later named Chiefs) had the upper hand in the 1960s when they led the team battle by 19-1. Then came an era of revenge for the Broncos. Since the 60s, Broncos outplayed Texans in back to back series every decade that followed. Texans/Chiefs lead the overall tally 59-55. However, since the Texans became the Chiefs, Broncos came out better with the statistics of 55-53.

2.Oakland Raiders vs Denver Broncos

With Raiders was the Broncos’ another intra-division rivalry in NFL’s AFC West division. It’s an age-old rivalry that the Broncos carry till today. The Raiders had a huge margin of 15-4-1 in the 60s. The 80s and 90s saw close fights with 10-9 and 11-10. The rivalry was high in intensity when the Broncos came back to put up a 13-7 lead after the millennium. Raiders are up in overall tally with 62-51-2. However recent few years keep Broncos on top of its Denver Broncos Rivals.

Chargers are yet another division mate challenges for Denver Broncos. Chargers gave no way to the Broncos for the decade of 1960 winning 15 out of 20. This 15-5 was the only lead in decade scores that the Chargers saw. Broncos went on to surpass the might of Chargers decade after decade since then. Broncos have got this with 64-50-1.

4.Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos

Again a challenger from the same AFC West division, for quite some years. Seahawks were the part of AFC West when the Broncos had a 32-18 record against them. Later the Seahawks migrated to the NFC West. Denver Broncos lead the all scoreboard with 34-19. The two teams also battled in Super Bowl XLVIII in 2004 where Seahawks won 43-8.

5.Cleveland Browns vs Denver Broncos

This rivalry is decorated with many incredible, shocking and unforgettable moments. “The Drive”, “The Fumble”, and what not. Broncos conquered the Browns in the first three of the four initial games. The last victory of Browns against Broncos came in 1990. Broncos are 23-5 ahead.

6.Pittsburgh Steelers vs Denver Broncos

Steelers vs Broncos rivalry emerged of a nasty behavior. In 1977, Broncos beat the Steelers 34-21 in a divisional playoff. Joe Greem with his stern frustration punched Paul Howard in the stomach. However, the rivalry never matched the level that the Steelers had with the Raiders. The series statistics suggest Broncos were better. They are 19-11-1 ahead.

7.New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos

Broncos and Patriots rivalry met twice each year in the 1960s. Although Patriots led the head-to-head 10-8 back then, they were wiped off by Broncos in later years and decades.
