The Broncos have been planning for a Saturday game at Cincinnati in Week 17.
The NFL made the date official Tuesday morning.
Denver’s road game at the Bengals kicks off at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, the league announced Tuesday.
It’s part of a triple-header to be broadcast on NFL Network, though there will also be a local broadcast for the game in the Denver market, too.
Denver coach Sean Payton said Monday the team had been planning for the league to put the game on Saturday. Denver and Cincinnati was one of five matchups for the week eligible to be slotted into three windows.
The other two: The L.A. Chargers — Denver’s Thursday night opponent — travel to New England for an 11 a.m. kick and then Arizona visits the L.A. Rams at 6 p.m.
The Broncos’ Week 18 home game and regular-season finale against Kansas City could also end up on either Saturday or Sunday, Jan. 4-5.
