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.

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.
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.

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.
They've since signed "Jimmy G." to a long-term contract extension, and he's given San Francisco fans a reason to believe the best is yet to come. After taking over in Week 12 last season, he led the 49ers to wins in all five of his starts. Broncos Ring of Famer John Lynch hasn't relaxed during his second season as the 49ers' general manager. They are yet another team that has seen its share of changes over the last year, as longtime Seattle Seahawk Richard Sherman joined the fold this offseason. Los Angeles has arguably the most-talented roster in the AFC West, and many believe the Chargers will be division favorites in 2018.

However, after running back Devontae Booker lost a fumble deep in Broncos' territory early in the second quarter, the Texans capitalized, with Watson connecting with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a 16-yard touchdown . Following an exchange of punts, Booker redeemed himself, with a 14-yard touchdown run. With only 22 seconds remaining in the first half, McManus missed wide right on a 62-yard field goal attempt, giving the Texans a short field and an opportunity to score.
The early May Bank holiday weekend has the Broncos play host to familiar foes, in the shape of Leigh Centurions, and despite a fantastic effort in sweltering conditions the home side fall to a third defeat by Kieron Purtill's Leigh Centurions team inside five weeks. An absorbing encounter in front of a season's best crowd to date of 1, 340 has the spectators on the edge of their seats, tries from Rhys Williams, Alex Walker, Matty Gee, James Meadows and Sadiq Adebiyi not quite enough to prevent a reverse and a slide to fourth place in the Betfred Championship table. In a precursor to the upcoming 5th round Ladbrokes Challenge Cup tie later in the month the Broncos complete their Easter programme at Leigh Centurions. A hard-fought encounter on Bank Holiday Monday in front of 3, 328 sees Danny Ward's men just come up short, tries from Elliot Kear, James Cunningham and Matty Gee not enough to prevent a second defeat inside four days as the improving hosts record a fourth straight championship victory. The Broncos record a fifth straight championship victory the following weekend however, defeating Batley Bulldogs 68–12 in a twelve try blitz at Trailfinders Sports Ground in front of a crowd of 1,200.
Opponent Touchdown Log
After going three-and-out on their first two possessions, the Broncos got on the scoreboard later in the first quarter, with quarterback Case Keenum rushing for a 1-yard touchdown, then grabbed the lead midway through the second quarter, with a 44-yard field goal by placekicker Brandon McManus. Cleveland responded on their next possession, with a 40-yard field goal by placekicker Greg Joseph. The Broncos were attempting to re-take the lead on their next possession, reaching the Cleveland 29-yard line, however Keenum was intercepted by Cleveland safety Jabrill Peppers in the end zone for a touchback. The Broncos' defense subsequently returned the favor, as Cleveland reached the Broncos' 30-yard line just before halftime, however, Mayfield was intercepted by safety Dymonte Thomas near the goal line. After forcing a fumble off Mayfield, a 42-yard field goal by McManus gave the Broncos a 13–10 lead late in the third quarter.
Broncos' head coach Vance Joseph attempted to ice Texans' placekicker Ka'imi Fairbairn prior to attempting a half-ending 46-yard field. The initial attempt missed wide right, however, Fairbairn's second attempt was successful, giving the Texans a 16–10 lead. The Broncos took their first and only lead of the game, with quarterback Case Keenum throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeff Heuerman, which was the only scoring play of the third quarter.
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.
The London Broncos returned to the Betfred sponsored Super League after an absence of four years, with a stunning 4–2 victory against the Toronto Wolfpack in the Million Pound Game. In an enthralling try-less game, the Broncos emerged victorious thanks to a superb collective defensive display by Danny Ward’s men and the boot of Jarrod Sammut. Alex Walker bags a try double, to reach 20 for the season, whilst there are further tries from James Cunningham, Kieran Dixon and Ben Hellewell, the latter two stirring length of the field interception efforts. The Broncos kick-off the Super League Qualifiers with a fixture at Widnes Vikings in front of the Thursday evening Sky Sports cameras.

Mark Ioane crosses early in the second half to reduce the arrears, and despite falling 4-14 behind, 3 tries in nine minutes from Daniel Harrison and a Kieran Dixon double, the second a 70-metre interception, puts the Londoners ahead.
