The 2011 schedule for the Denver Broncos was released Tuesday, featuring a season-opening Monday Night Football game.  This marks this first time since 2004 the Broncos have opened at home and will be the 20th consecutive season the Broncos have played on Monday Night Football, extending the longest active streak in the NFL.

Of course, none of this matters if the lockout continues and the 2011 NFL season is not played. But for all you hopefuls out there, here is the schedule the Broncos will supposedly play in 2011 (home games in caps; all times local at site of game).
