DENVER — The Denver Broncos are in for a prime time matchup when they take on the Detroit Lions.
The Broncos announced on Instagram Thursday that kickoff for the Week 15 game will be at 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16. The game will be played in Detroit and will be televised on NFL Network.
The Broncos have been red hot lately, rattling off five straight wins after starting the season 1-5. The Lions lead the NFC North with an 8-3 record.
Far removed from their dismal Week 3 showing against the Miami Dolphins, when they gave up a whopping 70 points, the Broncos have seen a dramatic turnaround made possible by a much-improved defense and the efficient play of quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Broncos' next two outings will be road games against the Houston Texans and the Los Angeles Chargers. After the Lions game, they'll finish out the regular season with home games against the New England Patriots and the Chargers and a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
