Jets' Robert Saleh quiet on QB plan after more Zach Wilson struggles Jets coach Robert Saleh was noncommittal on his Week 17 quarterback plans, leaving open the possibility that Zach Wilson could be benched again even if Mike White is not cleared to play.

Game 5 of the qualifiers campaign saw the London Broncos travel to familiar foes, Hull Kingston Rovers, and despite a gutsy display on Yorkshire's east coast, the Southerners came up short, on the wrong end of an 18–30 score line. The Broncos returned home to host Salford Red Devils seven days later, the match moved forward 24 hours at the behest of the Rugby Football League to accommodate broadcast partner, Sky Sports' scheduling of the final round of fixtures the following week. In one of the most memorable games seen in the Capital in recent times, the Londoners emerged victorious 11-8 after a titanic battle against their Betfred Super League opponents. The heavens had opened mid morning and continued long into the night, but the inclement weather failed to deter captain, Jay Pitts who scored the home side's only try of the afternoon with a close-range effort after 14 minutes. Thereafter, a combination of heroic defence and the ever-reliable kicking boot of Jarrod Sammut, was enough to see Danny Ward’s team secure two crucial points, and leave their promotion aspirations very much alive with one game of the Super League Qualifiers, at home to Halifax, remaining.
The Chiefs took the lead in the second quarter with two touchdown passes by quarterback Patrick Mahomes – a 9-yarder to tight end Travis Kelce and a 13-yarder to wide receiver Sammy Watkins – the latter with a missed extra point attempt. The Broncos pulled to within a 16–14 deficit just before halftime, with quarterback Case Keenum connecting with wide receiver Tim Patrick on a 24-yard touchdown pass. The Chiefs then increased their lead to 30–14 on their first two possessions of the second half, with two more touchdown passes by Mahomes – a 10-yarder to Watkins, followed by a 23-yarder to running back Kareem Hunt. After forcing a fumble on the Jets' opening drive, the Broncos took the early lead, with an 8-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Case Keenum to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. The Broncos' defense allowed Jets' running back Isaiah Crowell to rush for 219 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown, and quarterback Sam Darnold threw three touchdown passes – including a 76-yarder to wide receiver Robby Anderson. From the second quarter onward, the Broncos' offense only managed a 30-yard field goal by placekicker Brandon McManus and a 42-yard touchdown pass from Keenum to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas – the latter of which occurred after the game had been decided in the Jets' favor.

The next two weekend's see the Broncos rack up 112 points in two victories over Sheffield Eagles, the first, the postponed Round 5 fixture. The month ends with a first defeat at the Summer Bash as Toulouse Olympique again prove too strong for the Broncos who lose 28–40 in sunny Blackpool, despite tries from Jarrod Sammut, captain Jay Pitts, Ben Evans and two from Rhys Williams. A return to Lancashire and the Leigh Centurions the following weekend proves less fruitful, a below par performance ends with the Londoners crashing out of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup 0-40. The 2018 London Broncos season was the 39th in the club's history, their fourth consecutive campaign out of the Super League and the third since moving to Ealing and the Trailfinders Sports Ground.
Wiggins has been working for several weeks helping the stadium staff to perfect the recipes for ones like the “breakfast” pizza topped with fried egg and bacon. With the addition of Marcus Peters, Ndamukong Suh and Brandin Cooks, the Rams have made it clear they're gunning for a Super Bowl appearance this season. As such, they'll likely provide one of the toughest tests of the season for the Broncos. Last year, Denver raced out to a 3-1 start and stumbled down the stretch to finish 5-11.
Broncos' 2022 schedule announced, defined by finishing stretch and prime-time games
When breaking ties for three or more teams under the NFL's rules, they are first broken within divisions, then comparing only the highest ranked remaining team from each division. The Broncos lost their seventh consecutive game against the Chiefs – surpassing the team's longest losing skid against the Chiefs since a six-game streak from 1970 to 1973. The official 2018 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring. Beginning in 2010, a change was made to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation with the AFC and NFC West divisions. The stadium will have several types of hand-tossed artisan pizza from Chef Elise Wiggins, owner of Stapleton’s Cattivella restaurant.
A vegetarian, non-GMO and organic bowl of superfood-based acai smoothie, topped with a full profile of dressings, fruits and nuts. Denver is all-time on Thursday — including a series of Thanksgiving games during the AFL years — but the Broncos are 11-4 on Thursdays in the 21st century. Denver has also triumphed in four of its last five Thursday road games, including a triumph at Indianapolis last December.
The Texans reclaimed the lead early in the fourth quarter, with a 37-yard field goal by Fairbairn. The drive was extended as the result of a defensive holding penalty on Broncos' safety Su'a Cravens on a third-down play. Following an exchange of punts, the Broncos, trailing 19–17, had one last offensive possession, and reached the Texans' 33-yard line, however, McManus missed wide right on a 51-yard field goal as time expired.
In their first road game of the season, the Broncos were plagued by several penalties, in a 27–14 loss at the Baltimore Ravens. After Ravens' punter Sam Koch has his punt blocked by Joseph Jones on the opening possession of the game, the Broncos grabbed the early lead on the next play, with a 6-yard touchdown run by running back Royce Freeman. The Ravens countered, with running back Alex Collins rushing for a 6-yard touchdown. The drive started at the Broncos' 48-yard line, after Broncos' cornerback Isaac Yiadom was flagged for an unnecessary roughness penalty while on the sidelines.
The last time the Broncos played at Baltimore so early in the season was in John Elway's rookie year. On Sept. 11, 1983, he started and helped power Denver to a win over the Colts on a day when the 99-degree heat was exceeded by the fire of anger from Baltimore fans still upset that Elway opted not to play there, which helped set up the famed blockbuster trade to the Broncos. Aqib Talib and Wade Phillips return to Denver for the first time since Talib was traded this offseason and Phillips joined for the Rams following the 2016 season. Both men were key pieces of the Super Bowl 50 team — but they're now in Los Angeles searching for another ring. But the biggest acquisition for the 49ers in quite some time is undoubtedly the trade they executed last season for Jimmy Garoppolo.
For the second time in the month of October, the Broncos faced their AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs. A 1-yard touchdown run by running back Phillip Lindsay gave the Broncos the early lead. The Chiefs got on the board, with a 24-yard field goal by placekicker Harrison Butker, a drive that was aided by a defensive pass interference penalty on Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby on a 3rd-and-19. Broncos' placekicker Brandon McManus missed wide right on a 55-yard field goal attempt, one play after wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was tackled for a 6-yard loss on an end-around.
However, Badgley missed wide left on the extra point attempt, keeping the score at 19–7. The Broncos went three and out on their first offensive possession of the second half, and the Chargers were attempting to pull away from the Broncos on their next possession. However, as the Chargers reached the Broncos' 35-yard line, Rivers was intercepted by linebacker Von Miller on a screen pass attempt, and Miller returned the interception to the Chargers' 18-yard line. The Broncos capitalized three plays later, with running back Royce Freeman rushing for a three-yard touchdown. After poor offensive statistics that resulted in a 5–11 record during the previous season, the Broncos hoped for improvement at the quarterback position, with the offseason signing of Case Keenum as well as the breakthrough of undrafted rookie running back Phillip Lindsay. Another rookie that made an impact was linebacker Bradley Chubb, who recorded 12 sacks following a slow start.
News Broncos to play five prime-time games in 2022 season Denver will play five games on prime-time television this season, including four in the first six weeks. These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
