Denver Broncos 2016 schedule.

The Denver Broncos made the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year in 2015 and look like a team that is going nowhere but up. Sure, the Broncos are going to have some serious turnover in the offseason, but they have a young quarterback in Brock Osweiler and a rather spry head coach in Gary Kubiak.

Kubiak has managed a double-digit win season for the third time in his career, with the other two coming with the Houston Texans. The Broncos have shown to be one of the best defensive teams in the league, with stars like Von Miller, Malik Jackson, Brandon Marshall and Chris Harris leading the way. In 2016, this is who the Broncos will be going against…

Denver has to be thrilled with the way this schedule plays out. Sure, the Broncos will once again draw the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots, but the rest of the docket is very manageable. Only the Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs look like especially daunting opponents, while Denver gets to feast against teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Provided the Broncos can bring back most of their defense, this should be a playoff team once again in 2016 thanks to nice talent and an easy schedule.
