The Denver Broncos’ 2021 schedule has been released, and it’s the first 17-game schedule we’ve ever seen for the team that didn’t involve a one-and-done in the postseason. The NFL added a 17th regular-season game for 2021 and the Denver Broncos have an opportunity to get back into the postseason without much national exposure.
The Denver Broncos will not appear on Monday Night Football this year after setting an NFL record with 29 straight years with at least one appearance. The Broncos will also not be appearing on Sunday Night Football or Saturday Night Football barring one of their games later in the season being flexed.
There will be some nationally televised games, but for the most part, the Broncos will be trying to get back on track in relative “anonymity” if that even exists in today’s NFL.
Here is a look at the team’s full schedule

With four straight losing seasons, it’s not entirely shocking that the Denver Broncos are no longer the NFL’s preferred option for prime time games, but there are undoubtedly some intriguing “revenge” games on the docket.
Players going up against their former teams will have a chance to stick it to the ones that let them get away, individual player beef could be addressed, and recent streaks going against the Denver Broncos can be avenged.
What are the top three revenge games on the schedule in 2021?
