Linebacker Von Miller and running back Phillip Lindsay were selected to the 2019 Pro Bowl, while linebacker Bradley Chubb, cornerback Chris Harris, Jr. and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders were named as alternates. Lindsay became the first undrafted rookie in NFL history to earn a Pro Bowl selection, however, due to a wrist injury that he suffered during the Broncos' second-to-last game of the season, Lindsay did not play in the Pro Bowl, and served as an NFL social media correspondent instead. Sanders did not participate due to a ruptured Achilles tendon that ended his season on December 5. Despite early reports that the Broncos would draft a quarterback, plus the draft of several offensive players, the Broncos stayed with Case Keenum, Paxton Lynch and Chad Kelly going into mini-camps.

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.
However, four plays later, after the Broncos had reached the Chiefs' 39-yard line, Keenum was strip-sacked by Dee Ford, with Chiefs' linebacker Breeland Speaks recovering the fumble. The Broncos' defense forced a Chiefs punt, however, on the next possession, Keenum was intercepted by cornerback Kendall Fuller near midfield. Following an exchange of punts, and after burning two of their three team timeouts, the Broncos drove 46 yards in ten plays, with a 36-yard field goal by McManus pulling the Broncos to within a 30–23 deficit just after the two-minute warning. The Broncos' defense forced a three-and-out from the Chiefs, and the Broncos had one last offensive play, however, with only four seconds left and no timeouts, their last desperation play of the game was unsuccessful. The Cleveland Browns took the early lead, with quarterback Baker Mayfield launching a 31-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Breshad Perriman.

The drive was aided by a defensive offsides penalty on Broncos' defensive end Derek Wolfe on a 3rd-and-4. The Broncos reached the Ravens' 5-yard line on their first possession of the fourth quarter, but Keenum was intercepted by Patrick Onwuasor, who ran 89 yards for a touchdown. The Broncos had one more possession, but turned the football over on downs with three minutes remaining in the game, and the Ravens ran out the clock. The Broncos' offense went three-and-out on four of their six first half possessions. They reached the Raiders' 18-yard line on their fifth possession, which was aided by a 53-yard run by running back Phillip Lindsay, however, a pass attempt by quarterback Case Keenum intended for tight end Jake Butt near the goal line was intercepted by Raiders' cornerback Rashaan Melvin.
Heckert was diagnosed with amyloidosis in 2015 and was placed on medical leave during the second half of that season. Former Broncos' head coach Gary Kubiak remained as the team's lone senior personnel adviser until the end of the season. Peyton Manning hasn’t played quarterback for the Broncos for two years but he still lives in the Denver area and he’s still connected to the team.

News The five most-intriguing games on the Broncos' 2022 schedule With five prime-time games and the traditional six division matchups, there are plenty of intriguing contests to come in Russell Wilson's debut season with the Broncos. This graph depicts the total regular season home attendance of the Denver Broncos franchise of the National Football League from 2006 to 2021. Perhaps more than any other game in 2018, a matchup with the Steelers should provide the Broncos with a measuring stick for where they stand in the AFC. Led by Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh's offense is arguably the league's best. This will also be the Broncos' lone home game over the first four weeks after the bye. This marks the fourth consecutive season in which the Broncos and Bengals have met, which has never happened before.
At the two-minute warning, Janikowski missed wide left on a 51-yard field goal, however, he got a second chance as the result of an offsides penalty on Broncos' cornerback Tramaine Brock. Three plays later, the Broncos' reached the Seahawks' 26-yard line, and were hoping to increase their lead heading into halftime, however, Keenum was intercepted by safety Bradley McDougald. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Broncos responded, with Keenum throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeff Heuerman. However, the two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, which would have pulled the Broncos to within a one-score deficit. The Broncos' defense forced a turnover on the Chiefs' next possession, with safety Justin Simmons intercepting a pass from Mahomes at the Broncos' 39-yard line.

The Broncos missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season, suffered back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1971–1972 and back-to-back double-digit losses for the first time since 1966–1967, resulting in the firing of head coach Vance Joseph at the end of the season. This was the third consecutive season with one game involving the Broncos getting at least 30 points. NFL Football Operations’ mission is to establish a culture of clarity, consistency and credibility in all aspects of the greatest game.
That isn't all that is unusual about this game; consider that the last three contests have each seen the losing team score exactly 17 points -- with two of the games decided by the same score. This has often been a prime-time game -- but it won't be this year unless it is moved via the NFL's flexible-scheduling policy. The last three Broncos-Steelers regular-season games in Denver were all played on Monday or Sunday night. Denver hopes to continue its recent form in games before the bye when Deshaun Watson makes his first visit to Denver.
This will also mark the ninth time in the last 10 seasons that the Broncos have ended their regular season at home. On June 20, the Broncos reached a temporary naming rights agreement for their home stadium. Colorado-based sporting goods retailer Sports Authority previously held the naming rights for the Broncos' stadium from 2011 to 2017, despite going bankrupt in 2016. Shortly after the end of the 2017 season, the Broncos removed the old signage from the exterior of their stadium – formerly known as "Sports Authority Field at Mile High," and previously known as "Invesco Field at Mile High" from 2001 to 2010.
And Vance Joseph will face a stiff test against the 2017 Coach of the Year, Sean McVay. Denver hopes to snap a two-game post-bye losing streak when the team ventures to StubHub Center. The Broncos are 21-8 all-time after byes, including a 6-3 mark in post-bye road games.
