Week 12- New Orleans Saints @ Empower Field

The Denver Broncos will face a tough stretch as the season winds down, and although they will have home-field advantage, Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are always a tough task.

They are one of the most well-rounded teams the Broncos will face in 2020, with a stacked offense with the likes of Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, and former Bronco Emmanuel Sanders. They also have a good defense and one of the best QB’s of all time.

The Saints will likely be in the Super Bowl conversation once again by this point, and although this is a non-conference game, coming away with a win over the powerhouse Saints would be a giant victory for the Denver Broncos, and depending on where the Broncos stand by Week 12, would make them a more serious playoff threat.
