The 2008 Denver Broncos season was the franchise's 49th season for the team (their 39th season in the National Football League). They improved from their 7–9 record from 2007 but failed to make the playoffs with an 8–8 record. On December 30, 2008, two days after the regular season ended, Mike Shanahan was fired as the Broncos head coach.
