In the AFL years, the Broncos outright struggled. I don't believe they ever had a winning season.
Interesting, back then the AFL West was composed of exactly the same 4 teams as the AFC West is today. It was always the Chiefs and Raiders at the top, with the Chargers usually in third occasionally popping some offensive fireworks, then Denver bringing up the rear. Yes, there was an AFL draft, but that didn't matter so much. It was all about finding the talent and then having owners that could afford to out-bid the NFL for that talent. Denver was one of those AFL teams just struggling to survive. They had one good playmaker - his name was Floyd Little - and that was about it.
