11 wins? Love the optimism!
Behold, the 2023 Denver Broncos schedule. 4 of our 17 games are confirmed to be on primetime.
From the looks of it, this shouldn't be a cakewalk, but it shouldn't be impossible either.
I can see 11 wins if everything goes right for us this year. I'm so excited! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/1bzasWbNuK

Winning on the road will be pivotal come December
Quick thought: It won't be the schedule that keeps the Broncos out of the playoffs this year. There's no rough stretch, on paper.
Yes, December starts with 3 road games:
At Houston
At LA Chargers
at Lions
If you're a playoff team, you should win 2 of those 3.#9sports https://t.co/ghTsdY7m2v— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) May 12, 2023

Primetime Payton has a good ring to it
The #Broncos have four prime-time games on their initial 2023 schedule and two late-season games are candidates for a national spotlight as well. https://t.co/QDEIrvVmx6

Some good, some bad
The good of the schedule:
* 2 winnable home games to start
* Chicago, KC early in the season
* Stretch of 4 home games in 5 at midseasonThe bad:
* 3-straight road games in December
* Christmas Eve prime-time game. It’s at home, but, woof— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) May 12, 2023

America's Team? 😎
Initial thought: this is great.
The Broncos have a great shot to start hot. Some tough games in the middle and road games late, but at least those games should matter.
Four primetime games after a five-wins season? The Broncos are America’s team. https://t.co/oaDpXUKxYJ

Good weather on deck! (Hopefully)
Main takeaway on #Broncos sked.. Favorable road weather schedule in December. Houston (indoor), Chargers, (essentially indoor), Detroit (indoor) & Vegas (indoor). Buffalo is 11/13–average temp. high 30's over last 3 years at night. Broncos avoid cold games vs. Chiefs in KC on…

Don’t forget preseason!
#Broncos preseason schedule has them opening with road games at Arizona (Aug. 10-12) and at San Francisco (Aug. 17-19). The one preseason home game will be against the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 26. More specifics on dates and times to be known later.
