The Denver Broncos are entering the 2026 NFL season with their sights set firmly on the ultimate prize—a Super Bowl championship. Wide receiver and star returner Marvin Mims made that crystal clear during a recent community event, signaling a bold new chapter for the franchise.

Speaking after a shoe distribution event at Kaiser Elementary School in partnership with UnitedHealthcare of Colorado, Mims didn't hold back about the team's lofty ambitions. "The team we have, the rush we have, how far we went last year—we're all expecting a Super Bowl this year," Mims said. "We want to go far. We kind of got a good taste of that last season, got a nice little hot streak going, made the playoffs, won the divisional round, and had a close game in the AFC championship. I think we all want to take that next step."

That "good taste" was a heartbreaker for Broncos fans. After a thrilling playoff run that included a divisional-round victory over the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle on one of the final plays of that win. Many analysts and fans believe a healthy Nix would have propelled Denver to the Super Bowl. Now, with Nix on the mend and expected to be fully cleared for training camp this summer, the optimism is palpable.

For a team that showed flashes of brilliance last season, the 2026 campaign represents a golden opportunity. If Nix returns to form, the Broncos have the pieces—and the mindset—to make a serious run. As Mims put it, the goal is simple: take that next step and bring a Lombardi Trophy back to Denver.
