The Denver Broncos will square off against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday morning at Empower Field at Mile High in their third and final preseason game of the year. This matchup is crucial for both teams as they prepare to finalize their rosters, cutting down from 90 players to the 53-man limit.
This week, the Broncos announced Bo Nix as their starting quarterback, shifting the focus to the backup position for the upcoming season. On Sunday, the team will evaluate Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson closely to determine who will earn the role of backup quarterback for 2024.
The Cardinals are a familiar preseason opponent for Denver, with this being their 30th preseason encounter. Last summer, Arizona edged out Denver with an 18-17 victory in a closely contested game.
Despite that recent loss, the Broncos hold a strong 19-10 lead in the all-time preseason series against the Cardinals.
Denver and Arizona have faced off 12 times in the regular season, with the Broncos holding a commanding 10-1-1 record against the Cardinals. The sole defeat for Denver came in 2010, when the Cardinals delivered a decisive 43-13 blowout victory.
As the preseason draws to a close, the Broncos are aiming to end on a high note, setting the stage for the future. This final game is critical for determining the final 53-man roster, which must be set by 2 p.m. MT on Tuesday, August 27.
The outcome of this game will be instrumental in solidifying key roster spots and providing clarity on the team’s composition heading into the regular season.
