That is the negative of comparing a future season schedule to the past season results.

Like holy moly!
Throwing the Seahawks at them just a few days after playing the Chargers is very rude. That is usually a physical division game, then to take on the champs on a short week? Oooof.
The last three games look pretty tough too, but at least those are mostly in Denver. Things get a little easier from that Week 6 mark, thankfully. On paper anyway.
