The 2002 Denver Broncos season was the team's 43rd year in professional football and its 33rd with the National Football League.
With the sudden retirement of Terrell Davis in the preseason, Denver had to rely on rookie Clinton Portis, who provided an instant spark to the Broncos running game. Despite his presence, however, the Broncos finished with a 9-7 record, and narrowly missing the postseason.
