Denver Broncos TV Schedule: Start Time and Channel For Sunday Night Football Against Indianapolis Colts Week 7 On NBC at 8:30

Oct 19, 2013 09:38 AM EDT

The Denver Broncos are 6-0 this season and playing some fantastic football with quarterback Peyton Manning and in Week 7 the team will play one of the most anticipated games on the NFL schedule, as Manning will make his return to Indianapolis to play the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on NBC for Sunday Night Football at 8:30 PM.

The Broncos have been playing some great football this season and Manning is having one of the best stretches of his career with 20 touchdowns and just one interception and now he will put that on the line against his former team in the Colts. Andrew Luck took over for Manning in Indy after he was released and now the two will face off on Sunday night in a battle of division leaders, as the Colts are 4-2 and sit on top of the NFC South.

The Broncos have been the best offensive team in the league with Manning at the helm, averaging over 450 yards per game, including 360 passing yards per game, which is the best in the league. The team opened the season with a blowout win against the Baltimore Ravens in a game that saw Manning go for over 400 yards with seven touchdowns and now the team has won six straight games heading into Sunday, including last week against Jacksonville. Manning has been stellar all season and the Broncos defeated his brother Eli and the Giants in Week 2 and then took down the Oakland Raiders and Eagles at home. The team won an amazing shootout with Dallas and then handily won against Jacksonville before heading into Indianapolis.

Next week the team will play against the Washington Redskins before having a bye and they could be 8-0 when they take on the San Diego Chargers in Week 10. The team is tied with the Kansas City Chiefs at 6-0 atop the AFC West and they will play the team twice in three weeks and a road and home game and in between that will be a road contest against the New England Patriots, making that the toughest stretch for the team this season.

The Broncos have the chance to run the table with the way Manning is playing, but chances are they will lose one of those three games and that actually could be a good thing for their Super Bowl chances. The Patriots had to play with so much pressure that season against the Giants and losing could be good for the Broncos in the long run. The team finishes with games at home against the Titans and Chargers and then the final two games come on the road against Houston and Oakland.
