Monday night in the Mile High City against a division rival? Sounds pretty good to us. There are even more reasons to be excited.
An excellent home team, this will mark the seventh straight season in which the Broncos have opened the season in Denver. They have won five straight season openers. Coincidentally, their last loss was the last time they opened on Monday night. On Sept. 12, 2011, the Broncos fell to the Oakland Raiders, 23-20.
This season, the Broncos will also be afforded the chance to go after hated Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
The NFL will officially release the full schedule on Thursday at 6 p.m. MT.
