The Broncos are scheduled to play a Monday Night game at home on Monday, October 29th.
If the Rockies get to the World Series and the series gets to a Game 5, then that game will be in Denver on the same night (according to the schedule on MLB.com)
How do you think the NFL will resolve this potential issue?
There is no Sunday Night game on NBC that week because of the World Series, but the game couldn't be played then anyway because Game 4 is in Denver. They could move the game to an early Sunday afternoon game and swap one of the early Sunday games to Monday Night, however this would mean the game would startat 11am in Denver. I don't live in Denver, so I don't know how close the Broncos and Rockies stadiums are to each other. If the stadiums are close by, then moving the game to 4:00 on Sunday could cause traffic problems with people leaving the Broncos game and people trying to get to the Rockies game.
It should be interesting to see what happens.

They don't play in the same stadium, but the people of Denver would probably not be too happy if both events would be going on at the same time.

My guess is that they won't move the football game.
Head-to-head, football beats baseball in rating and attendance. They will probably keep both games at the scheduled time.

College stadium
The Jets had a game against the Steelers back in 1973 and the Mets were in the playoffs. The Jets had to move the game to Pitts.
So there could be some issues like this that develop.
See what happens.

Did somebody really answer this question with a new word "paperview?" LMAO "Paperview." ROFL
If both games are in Denver then both games are in Denver. There is no schedule conflict.

they don't play in the same stadium, so what;s the question? both games (if it happens to play out that way) will be played as scheduled. COL will win before game 5 anyway

Do they play in the same stadium? No. Not the NFL's problem for traffic (nor MLB). Welcome to the wonderful world of pro sports.
