The Denver Broncos enter week four of the National League Football season with a record of 2-1, but will not be playing Sunday afternoon due to a bye week. The team will resume practice Monday afternoon as they prepare for the Arizona Cardinals week five at Sports Authority Field.

With the Broncos not playing Sunday, here are some games you should keep on eye on and of course, they are divisional opponents.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. San Diego Chargers

• The San Diego Chargers have looked like a prime threat to the Broncos this season. After defeating the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks in San Diego, the team took care of business the following week on the road against the Buffalo Bills.
• Phillip Rivers has been efficient so far this season, completing 68.4% percent of his passes, accumulating 778 yards passing along with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception.
• San Diego will have a test against Jaguars rookie QB Blake Bortles who is making his first NFL start. Bortles was drafted in the 1st round, 3rd overall by Jacksonville in the 2014 NFL Draft.
• Record: Chargers: 2-1.

Miami Dolphins vs. Oakland Raiders

• You have to keep an eye on the Raiders whether they are good or not. Oakland looks to avoid their third 0-4 start since the team joined the NFL.
• Oakland is terrible at stopping the run. The team ranks 31st in the league (last), allowing 158.7 yards per game.
• Their offense doesn’t help out the defense much as well. The team is 29th in passing yards (190.0 per game) and 31st in rushing yards (64.3).
• Record: Raiders: 0-3.

New England Patriots vs. Kansas City Chiefs

• This is an intriguing game to keep an eye on. The Chiefs take on the Patriots on Monday Night Football.
• After making the playoffs a year ago, this Chiefs team has got off to a slow start, collecting a record of 1-2 (one loss came to the Denver Broncos).
• New England is always an intriguing team, especially with Tom Brady at the helm. Brady however, is only completing 58.8% percent of his passes this season, collecting 632 yards through the air with three touchdowns and no picks.
• Record: Chiefs: 1-2.
