The Denver Broncos will face some tough quarterbacks in 2022, including each of the passers in their own division. Here are the team’s five most difficult quarterback matchups?

It is a well-known fact that the AFC West is the most loaded division in all of football and the Broncos are going to face a difficult quarterback matchup in each of those games. The best part about that is that the team now has a top-tier quarterback of its own.

Looking over the 2022 schedule, these will be the five most problematic quarterback matchups for the Broncos and because there are so many in the division, this will actually cover eight of the team’s games.

The Broncos also have some favorable quarterback matchups on the schedule, at least on paper, but because of the way these five guys make their teams go, the Broncos will have their hands full in each of these games.

Lamar Jackson- Week 13

Kyler Murray could easily be in this slot, but Lamar Jackson is a former league MVP and at least right now, seems to have a better rapport with his team and is clearly the man there.

This game will also be on the road and the Ravens have historically been a team that has given the Broncos problems.

Jackson’s ability as a true dual-threat quarterback will cause fits for any defense and the Broncos will have their hands full in this one, having to defend the read-option offense.

Though many people still see Jackson as a “running back” who happens to play the quarterback position, that is just not the case. Jackson will make a team pay for treating him as such and he will torch them by throwing the ball down the field.

With Mark Andrews and one of the league’s best rushing attacks, the Ravens also have second-year wide receiver Rashod Bateman who many feel will take a big leap.
