Now that the 2020 NFL schedule has been unveiled, we preview eight matchups that may be challenging for the Denver Broncos in 2020.

The 2020 NFL schedule was released Thursday, and it brings us one step closer to football season. As of now, the season is slated to start on time, but as we have learned, we are currently living in an unpredictable world with the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to CBS, the Denver Broncos will play the fifth most difficult schedule in 2020, so there are bound to be some challenges for this young team as we enter Drew Lock’s first full season as a starter.

Although there is optimism that the Broncos will finally be ready to make their first postseason appearance since Super Bowl 50, it will not be an easy road.

Let’s preview eight games that may not be easy for the Broncos in the 2020 season. Please note that viewing these matchups as challenging does not necessarily mean the Broncos are expected to lose all of these games. These matchups are in no particular order.
