Denver Broncos 2019 schedule release: Games, dates and times
By Brad Weiss
The Denver Broncos will once again be going into the NFL season with a new quarterback, and here is the schedule for their 2019 campaign.
Before the 2019 NFL league year even began, the Denver Broncos were busy making moves, agreeing on a deal with the Baltimore Ravens for quarterback Joe Flacco. After leading the Ravens to a Super Bowl title in 2012, Flacco has been a very mediocre quarterback, but he is inheriting a very talented offensive unit in Denver.
Last year, Denver got great effort from rookies Courtland Sutton and Phillip Lindsay, and the team also brought back Emmanuel Sanders this offseason. They have long had one of the better defenses in football, and they should be solid once again, making the Broncos a very interesting team to keep an eye on this season.
Here is who Denver will be playing this year on its home and away schedules:
Week 1: at Oakland Raiders (Mon.)
Week 2: vs. Chicago Bears
Week 3: at Green Bay Packers
Week 4: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 5: at Los Angeles Chargers
Week 6: vs. Tennessee Titans
Week 7: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (Thurs.)
Week 8: at Indianapolis Colts
Week 9: vs. Cleveland Browns
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: at Minnesota Vikings
Week 12: at Buffalo Bills
Week 13: vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Week 14: at Houston Texans
Week 15: at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 16: vs. Detroit Lions
Week 17: vs. Oakland Raiders
This is a pretty tough schedule for the Broncos, as they have to go on the road and play inside some rowdy environments in Green Bay, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Kansas City to name a few. At home, they get playoff contenders in Tennessee, Cleveland, and Chicago outside of the division, so they better hope they are getting the best version of Flacco.
On August 1, the Broncos will kick off the 2019 NFL preseason, as they take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Hall of Fame Game. The Broncos have a lot of questions to be answered in the short, and long term, and we will get a better look at what this roster will look like as we inch closer to then.
