Week 4 – 10/3: vs. Ravens – 2:25 PM MT on CBS

One of the toughest games comes on early on in the season as the Broncos will face the Ravens on home turf.  This defense was built around the passing game but on October 3rd, the Vic Fangio-led defense will have to try and stop the run game that centers around their quarterback, Lamar Jackson.

Denver can be coming into this game with a very good record as they play the Giants, Jaguars, and Jets for their first three games. That confidence can go a big way in this pivotal game between two franchises that are very familiar with each other.

Every Denver Broncos fan remembers what happened in the playoffs in 2013 and will like to get some revenge for what happened.

Whoever the quarterback is for Denver will have a tough time with the Baltimore defense as they always rank among one of the best in the league. Don Martindale is a great defensive coordinator and will make the Denver offense grind it out to get their points.

This should be a great test for the Broncos and we will see Fangio game plan for Lamar Jackson for the first time ever.
