The Denver Broncos face the Steelers and the Jets on the road this season. Both games will be without fans.

You can never overlook any team in the NFL. For the Denver Broncos, you have to take any advantage that you can get, and the team has just gotten some positive news.

The Steelers and Jets, whom the Broncos face on the road this season, will host Denver without the use of the home crowd. No fans will be in attendance for those games.

With the pandemic still ongoing, it is not a surprise that more games without fans are being announced. The Broncos already announced that no fans will be allowed to attend the team’s home opener against the Tennessee Titans on September 14th.

The NFL and its teams are doing the right things when it comes to keeping people safe. They are doing their part. It is unfortunate that it has gotten to this point, but hopefully, everything will settle down sooner rather than later.

The Las Vegas Raiders will be without fans for the entire 2020 season.

How will this benefit the Broncos?

Well, we know that Broncos Country is extremely loyal when it comes to attending games at Empower Field. That part of this whole situation stings.

I’m interested to see what type of impact the no-fan rule at away games is going to impact the Broncos. As you know, each stadium has its own capacity.

The Steelers’ home field capacity is 68,400 and the Jets have a whopping capacity of 82,500 seats. So, hypothetically, the Jets game having no fans is much more significant than the Steelers.

Maybe.

There is also the aspect of the toughness of each team. We don’t really know how any team is going to perform this season, especially with there being no preseason. So, it’s a bit of a mystery.

Regardless of fans or no fans, teams are supposed to be ready for any situation that comes their way. This is no different. But hypothetically, the bigger the stadium of the team(s) that have no fans, the better it is for the Broncos.

dark. Next. 5 players other teams might try to trade for

I am hopeful that they come ready to play.
