Week 8 – 10/31: vs. WFT – 2:25 MT on FOX

One of the most underrated games for the Denver Broncos and can be one of their most difficult ones too is the Washington Football Team. The offense has to be clicking by week eight because the defense of Washington will make you pay on every single drive.

Chase Young and that defense will get to the quarterback but it is Pat Shurmur and the quarterback that needs to game plan around that. Denver has a good offensive line and it can be an interesting match for them to go against that line of Washington’s.

With Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm, the Broncos will have to outsmart their opponent as Terry McLaurin and others can blow the roof off in one play.

The Football Team nearly beat the Super Bowl champs in the wild card round. They gave Tom Brady some issues and they will look to do the same here.

Also, one of the other cool parts about this game is that it falls on Halloween.
