The Detroit Lions will be heading to Denver on Sunday for the first time since 2019 to take on the Broncos. There’s not a lot of history here, But, there is history and we’re going to jump right into it. Follow me, here we go.
The first time
It feels like the Denver Broncos have been around since the formation of football, but they started in 1960, 26 years after the Lions played their first snap in Detroit. Still, the Broncos didn’t play the Lions until 11 years later in 1971 when the Broncos welcomed Detroit to Denver for the first time ever.
