The Denver Broncos will travel nearly 20,000 miles during the upcoming season, starting with a more than 1,000-mile trek to Seattle for a clash with the Seahawks on Sept. 8.
The big picture: The Broncos’ 19,700 traveling miles next season ranks 14th in the NFL, far below the top-ranked Los Angeles Chargers, who will log nearly 27,000 miles.
- The Washington Commanders will cover just over 10,000 miles, the fewest in the league.
The intrigue: Denver’s jet lag will be tested with lengthy, back-to-back traveling weekends in late September.
- The team will travel to Tampa on Sept. 22 then New Jersey on Sept. 29 to face the Buccaneers and Jets, respectively, covering just over 3,100 combined miles.
The bottom line: Road wins are notoriously difficult in the NFL. Let us hope the traveling isn’t done in vain.
