The Giants’ 2013 schedule will be every bit as difficult as their 2012 schedule, but the real story is their home game against the Denver Broncos, which will be the third time Manning brothers Eli and Peyton have faced each other in an NFL game.

Peyton won the previous two meetings as a member of the Colts, but this time he’ll be playing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants also have a potential Thanksgiving matchup with the Detroit Lions.

Giants 2013 schedule
