ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The carousel of quarterback chaos screeched to a halt on March 8.
Two months later, Russell Wilson’s arrival continues to reap benefits. The Broncos returned to relevancy and will open their season with Wilson returning to Seattle in a Monday night primetime game that is expected to be simulcast on Denver7.
Wilson switching teams proved to be the biggest offseason acquisition, a nine-time Pro Bowler exchanged for eight assets – three players in Drew Lock, Shelby Harris and Noah Fant – and five draft picks. Wilson could face Lock – a polarizing figure in his three seasons in Denver – in Nathaniel Hackett’s head coaching debut. The Broncos aim to start fast, looking to snap their six-year playoff drought.
The Broncos host the Texans in the home opener on Sept. 18. They will be a heavy favorite against one of the NFL’s worst teams.
The Broncos return to Monday night is after last year’s absence ended a three-decade run. Denver secured multiple primetime games.
