After going 10-7 and reaching the NFL playoffs last season, the Broncos have five nationally-televised games on their 2025 schedule. Denver will be featured on Sunday Night Football , Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football this fall.

Green Bay is 2-0 as they continue a stretch of five games against teams battling for a spot in the playoffs. The gauntlet includes games against the Lions, the Bears (x2), the Broncos, and the Ravens. The Broncos lead the NFL with 55 sacks. They face a Packers' team that has allowed only 18 sacks. Something's gotta give.

Last year, the Broncos went 10-7 in coach Sean Payton's second season, reaching the NFL playoffs for the first time since the team won Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 campaign. Payton will now attempt to get his squad back to the playoffs -- and he has aspirations to go much further than the Wild Card round this time.

Coming off a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week, the Denver Broncos have a bye in Week 12 (Sunday, Nov. 23) before going on the road to face the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football in Week 13 (Nov. 30).
