When the NFL announced the 2024 schedule at the beginning of the year, it was Denver Broncos only got two originally scheduled prime time games: Football on Thursday evenings against the New Orleans Saints in Week 7 and Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.
Since then, the Broncos have moved into a third prime time slot. Denver's Week 16 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers has been postponed from Sunday afternoon NFL-news-broncos-part-of-first-ever-thursday-night-football-flex/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>A Football on Thursday evenings slot.
This may not be the Broncos' last game in prime time this season.
After the Chargers game, Denver will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. If the Bengals can get a few wins and stay alive in the playoff hunt, this game would be a perfect candidate for a national spotlight. In addition to the possibility of one Football on Sunday evenings Flex, the Broncos-Bengals game could also be a candidate for a nationally televised Saturday slot.
And if Denver needs to win in Week 18 to get into the NFL playoffs, a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs could also be an interesting candidate for both SNF or one of two Saturday windows this weekend.
As things stand nowthe Broncos have one MNF Game in week 13 and a TNF game in Week 16. It wouldn't be shocking if the NFL added one SNF or add Saturday game to Denver's schedule before the end of the year.
