2016 NFL Schedule: Panthers to face Broncos in season opener

According to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers will travel to Denver to face the Broncos on opening night.

We've all pretty much predicted this would happen since the Super Bowl ended, but now it's official.

The Panthers will look mostly the same as they have retained many of the players who made up the NFC Championship roster. Denver, on the other hand, will be a completely different animal. For starters, Peyton Manning retired, so they'll have Brock Osweiler Colin Kaepernick Mark Sanchez under center.
