On Thursday, the NFL announced a change in scheduling for late afternoon doubleheader games on CBS and FOX.
Games that previously kicked off at 2:15 p.m. MT will now move 10 minutes later to a 2:25 p.m. MT kickoff.
The change is designed to reduce overlaps with the end of 11 a.m. MT games. Any kickoffs at 2:05 p.m. MT — the Broncos have three — will remain unchanged.
The move currently affects four Broncos games this season — Week 3 vs. Houston, Week 5 at New England, Week 11 vs. San Diego and Week 17 at Kansas City.
As part of the league’s flex scheduling policy, the Broncos’ Week 15 matchup in Baltimore could also be moved into the late-game spot, meaning a move to a 2:25 p.m. MT kick.
The reasoning behind the shift in kickoff time is to allow more fans to see more football. It is designed to reduce instances in which fans miss the end of an 11 a.m. MT game on television because of the opening kickoff of their home team’s late game.
Before making the change, the NFL analyzed games during the 2009 through 2011 seasons and found that 44 games required part of the audience to be switched to the kickoff of a late game prior to the end of the early game. With a 2:25 p.m. MT kickoff time, that number would have been reduced to just 15 games — a 66 percent decrease.
The fan-friendly change will affect approximately 40 games over the course of the 2012 season.
Here is a printable version of the Broncos’ updated 2012 schedule.

Man for a Saturday night it’s dead on here,that’s a good thing tho,hopefully everybody is out kicking up their heels as they should be……..have fun tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like there were some fun times last night. Sorry I missed it.
I have no clue why we haven’t signed Matt yet. In my eyes, the player’s agents have more greed than the players themselves (In alot of cases, anyway).
What up BLB and TLC?
Just thought I would poke in for a sec.
ROBO! PFM!
Cam
ROBO!!!!!
PF’M!!!!!!!
You rock Cam!!!!!!!
And last night was friggen EPIC! I think I need to buy a strobe light!
What up Bratha?
LMAO@Cam
Epic……..many Epic nights on here on Friday night in my book bro!
Not much bro,just relaxing with a few…..bud lights,lol.jamming to uncle Ted,While watching the Nascar race,I’m content bro!
Jammed my arse off until 3 MST. Fun times!
Where is the race, tonight? Mr. #24 in my book!
I passed out on the crapper last night at 2:30 AM,my wife woke me up and told me to go to bed,LMAO!!!
I was jamming to AC/DC last night!
#2 in your book? HAHA!
The race is in Kentucky bro,#29 Budweiser is my dude,as if that wasn’t obvious,I loved it when my favorite driver got the sponsership of my favorite brew………Chevy rules!!!!
My wife likes#24!
#24 is in 9th and #29 is in 11th……hopefully they both run to the front!
LMAO@#2….HAHA!
In my early days I was a MOPAR guy. 68 HEMICUDA!
My dad had a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner and a 1969 Charger 440.
I had a 1975 Plymouth Fury,fast car!
Dale finally broke through and won after so long. Congrats to him!
When i was a kid my dad had a superbee with a 440 six pack. Black with green tail stripe. I wish he would have kept it!
My first car was a 72 Charger. What a boat! Had some large peanuts, though. LOL!
Yeah congrats to junior!
My dad also had a 65 stang,57 T-Bird,69 Nova SS,67 Chevelle SS,just to name but a few,when I was a kid I got to go on some wicked rides with my dad,burning rubber and hammering down hard,AHHHH the good ole days,I just sold my ’91 25th anniversary edition Camaro,with factory 5 speed,wicked car dude,but made 2 grand on it.
I guess my favorite car he had was a 1972 Nova with a 327 4 speed with chrome sidepipes!!!!!
It was a freaking BEAST!
He traded it to my cousin,he pulled the 327 and dropped in a 409 big block with 2 four barrels…..VROOOOOM!
I had a 79 Trans Am with a 455 big block from a ’69 Buick Wildcat,at 40 mph you could punch it,and it would start burning rubber……power under that hood!
Why the heck did you sell that car? I have a 1980 Tubo Trans AM sitting in my garage. People offer me moneys for it, but, I can’t part with it! I guess I’m attached to it.
Sidepipes are freaking cool! I hope that our Denver O, with Peyton Freaking Manning at the helm will burn it up down the field! Fire in the tracks!
Needed the money bro.
Actually bought some rental property and the guy wanted it for a down payment,so I let it go,hated to see her drive away outta my driveway,I thought what the Hell did I just do,but I’m here for the money.
I got a friend that has a ’79 Trans Am with a .30 over 350.
PFM will revitalize our stagnant Offense,you can take that to the bank bro!
I look for DT and Decker to have great seasons!

WEll, it’s midnight in the UP nad time for the wife and I to sit vback and watch some DVS of NYPD Blue. Great show, but it’s predicesor, Hill Street Blues was the one that started it all. Bet most of you bloggers never even heard of it. Dennis Franz had a 3rd or 4th banana role on it a few years intoi the show. He played a detective as screwy as Sipowitz was mouthy. Some of the wildest outfits ever seen..
It is midnight here as well OSS,still watching the AC/DC concert,it kicks arse……thanks for posting the BBBPs!
How many are we allowed?
I think I have 3?
