For the first time this season, the Broncos are preparing to play a team from the NFC as they’ll head to Green Bay for a meeting with the defending Super Bowl champions Sunday.

The two teams last squared off in Denver during the 2007 season, and it’s been 8 years since the Broncos last stepped foot on Lambeau Field.

In a conference call with the media, Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged the challenge the Broncos present with a new coaching staff and a revamped roster since the teams last met.
