Finally, the Denver Broncos are showcased on prime time, as Denver lands in the Mistake by the Lake, Cleveland, Ohio, possibly the ugliest spot in America.
Game time for the Oct. 21 showdown is 6:20 p.m., just in time for a hearty meal, a drink or two and a hopeful Bronco victory.
Once again, this contest should provide quite a slug match, as this is a town where the fans used to assemble outside the hotel the Broncs stayed at, and barked all night to harass them. Nothing like a little fan loyalty. Their antics actually forced former Bronco great John Elway to use ear plugs in the evening, prior to the game.
