The Denver Broncos (5-9) plan to wear alternate all-orange Color Rush uniforms when they host the Detroit Lions (3-10-1) at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 16 of the 2019 NFL season.
The league no longer has official Color Rush games — with both teams sporting bright colors — but teams are permitted to wear their Color Rush uniforms as alternates if they choose to. It’s unclear if Detroit plans to wear a Color Rush uniform or its standard away uniform on Sunday.
The Broncos previously wore alternate blue uniforms in a 16-0 win over the Tennessee Titans and in a 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this season. Denver has worn Color Rush uniforms once a season since 2016, posting a 2-1 record in those games.
The last time they wore Color Rush uniforms, the Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-17 during the 2018 season.
The Broncos will wear their standard orange jerseys with white pants when they host the Oakland Raiders to close out the season in Week 17.
