The other Broncos prime-time game that should have been included is the Sunday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders in Week 13. The two best rookie quarterbacks last season, looking to do it again in Year 2 and going head-to-head for the first time, is must-see TV.

Plus, early in the season, the Broncos will take on the New York Jets overseas at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 12. If you’d like to be there, tickets are available for all nine home games at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High on Vivid Seats.

The Denver Broncos will make NFL history when they return from a trip to London this fall and play another game the following week. Not having a bye week right after an international game is not unprecedented -- it has happened 19 times leading up to this season -- but it's certainly not common.
