Difficult final stretch

Beginning in Week 13, the Broncos face a brutal final stretch this season. Here’s how those last six weeks look:

Week 13: At Baltimore

Week 14: Vs. Kansas City

Week 15: Vs. Arizona

Week 16: At Los Angeles Rams

Week 17: At Kansas City

Week 18: Vs. Los Angeles Chargers

You would be hard-pressed to find a team facing six more difficult games to close out the season and this might be the most concerning aspect of the Broncos’ 2022 season.

You can easily make the argument that all of these teams are playoff teams and it is going to be difficult to come away with a string of victories there.

The positive outlook to it is that these six games will help make the Broncos battle-tested heading into the postseason if they are indeed going to be a playoff team this year.
