3. Broncos vs. Rams (Week 3) on SNF: Seattle is the defending champion, but the Rams are considered the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl this season. It will be another tough prime-time showdown for the Broncos. Fortunately, the game will be played at Empower Field at Mile High.
2. Broncos vs. Bills (Week 16) on Christmas: Two years ago, Buffalo knocked Denver out of the playoffs in the Wild Card round. Last season, the Broncos defeated the Bills in the divisional round (and lost Bo Nix to a broken ankle in the process). Buffalo and Denver could have big playoff seeding implications on the line in this late-season matchup.
1. Broncos @ Patriots (Week 17): This might be the game of the season for the Broncos, and it wouldn't be surprising to see if flexed into a prime-time spotlight if both teams are in playoff contention. Denver made it to the AFC title game last year before a close loss to New England with Jarrett Stidham filling in for an injured Nix. Many fans and pundits believe the Broncos would have reached the Super Bowl with a healthy Nix last season. Perhaps this rematch can add some validity to that argument.
Up next on Denver's offseason schedule are organized team activities (OTAs), which are scheduled to begin in early June. The team's training camp schedule is also expected to be announced in June, with practices beginning in late July and preseason games kicking off in August. Broncos football will be back soon.
