Three games on Thursday, one on Friday, a slew of games on Sunday and finally Week 13 football comes to Broncos Country. The Browns take on the Denver Broncos on Monday night to round out Thanksgiving game week.

Younger fans will wonder why the older generations are so excited about the Broncos-Browns. There was once a rivalry more heated than that between Cleveland and Denver. In back-to-back years 1986 and 1987, John Elway’s Broncos defeated the Browns in legendary AFC championship games. They won the AFC Championship again in the 1989 season.

When the Browns moved to Baltimore for the 1996 season, one of the Broncos’ biggest rivals faded into history.

Unfortunately, the team that replaced the Browns in Cleveland did not achieve the success of the previous version. The Broncos are 9-2 against them since returning in 1999.

Oddsmakers have the Denver Broncos as 6-point favorites on Monday night. Look for the Broncos defense to be fast and aggressive tonight against Jameis Winston. Look for Bo Nix to thrive against the 21st worst defense in the NFL.

Remember, the Denver Broncos are 7-5 and currently in seventh place in the playoff race, controlling their own destiny. With Monday’s game against Cleveland, the bye week to follow, and Indianapolis looming in the next three weeks, things are looking good for Broncos Country. Provided Denver takes care of business in the coming weeks, Denver has the potential to punch its ticket to the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 Super Bowl season.

Get going, Broncos Country!
