The Denver Broncos’ 2021 schedule is upon us and it will feature the very first 17-game schedule ever. The NFL has added a 17th game to the regular season as this can help the Broncos’ chances of returning to the playoffs.

The only unfortunate news about the release of Denver’s schedule is the lack of nationally televised games. They have only one primetime game, a Thursday Night battle versus the Browns at Cleveland. It will mark the first time in 29 years that the Broncos will not be featured in any Monday Night Football games this upcoming year.

With four straight losing seasons in a row, the Denver Broncos’ roster has never looked better as they look to break that streak and return to their winning ways.
