#8 – The Denver Broncos (1983-1991)

In 1986 they made it to their second Superbowl but lost to a stronger NY Giants team 39-20. They made it back to the Superbowl the following year but were beaten badly by the Washington Redskins 42-10.

After a very poor season in 1990, they bounced back the following year and came very close to another shot at the Superbowl, but lost a very close game to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game.
