Denver Broncos 2022 NFL schedule: 5 must-win games

Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts

Another must-win game for the Denver Broncos has to be their home game against Indianapolis Colts.

This game will feature another stout quarterback battle as Matt Ryan will be looking to eliminate all the negative juju from Atlanta. Still, Russel Wilson and the Broncos’ defense can shut that down quickly.

However, the Colts will be ready to battle and earn some more respect, just like the Broncos are looking to do, so this game will be better than people think it will be.

These two teams hadn’t played since 2019 when the Colts won 15-13, but that doesn’t matter. Both groups are starting new chapters, and this could be a game if it’s early enough in the season that could define either team. This game could be the one that causes a domino effect down the drain for another failure of a season, or it could elevate the winning team to gain some confidence and go on a run.

While Wilson is 0-2 against Ryan in the playoffs and 3-3 overall — these are two different teams. The Colts haven’t had a lot of success against the Broncos, but it’s a game that usually is a 50/50 battle.

The overall record is 14-14, with Denver winning three of the last six, but the Colts could beat them if they aren’t careful.
