ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — In conjunction with USA Football, the Broncos are proud to recognize 10 youth football teams before kickoff of Saturday's game against the Texans at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Saturday's recognition marks the annual celebration of USA Football Month in support of youth football across Colorado.

After the team recognition, the youth football team captains will remain on the field to participate in player introductions and will stand side-by-side with Broncos players during the National Anthem.
