Denver Broncos fans will love what the team is wearing in Week 5 vs. the Raiders image

It will be a glorious day to watch your Denver Broncos this Sunday when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders, and for fans in attendance, it will be even better. 

The Broncos will break out their throwback uniforms for this game which are inspired by the 1977 AFC championship team. In addition, Randy Gradishar will be honored for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, Steve Foley and Riley Odoms will join the Ring of Fame and the players from the 1977 team will be invited to the stadium. 

As the caption says, those are perfect. I'm not sure about you, but give me those uniforms over anything the team has ever worn. 

Both the Broncos and the Raiders enter this game at 2-2. The Raiders have taken the last eight games from the Broncos dating back to the 2019 season. This will be a classic Broncos-Raiders game. 

Broncos legends to be honored

In addition to honoring the first Broncos team to reach the Super Bowl, the Broncos have selected Gradishar, Foley and Odoms to partake in the festivities. 

Gradishar is one of the best players in team history. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past August after waiting nearly four decades to get in. He was placed in the team's Ring of Fame quite some time ago, but no one will argue with another celebration for the legendary linebacker. 

Odoms was a first-round pick in 1972 and spent his entire 12-year career in Denver, making the Pro Bowl four times. He finished his career with 396 receptions for 5,755 yards and 44 touchdowns. 

Foley is the team's all-time interceptions leader with 44. He too spent his entire career with the Broncos (11 seasons) and was an All-Pro in 1978. The addition to the Ring of Fame was long overdue for both of these players, making Sunday's game that much more special.
