The NFL is set to release the 2011 season schedule on Tuesday night (5 p.m. MT) even though there is still no new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Earlier in 2011, the Broncos learned who their opponents will be:
Home
Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions
Away
Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings
While the division games are always ones to look forward to, the home game with the Chicago Bears will be a highly anticipated matchup. Jay Cutler will make his return to Invesco Field at Mile High for the first time since the Broncos traded him in 2009.
The London-based game this year will be between Jay Cutler's Bears and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 23. However, if a new CBA is not in place by Aug. 1 the game will revert back to Tampa Bay, the home team.
The NFL Network and ESPN will both have specials for this on Tuesday night. Stay tuned at 5:00 p.m. MT to find out when the Broncos will play their opponents.
