It's almost time, Broncos Country! Tomorrow, the Denver Broncos are set to kick off the much-anticipated 2025 regular season against rookie quarterback Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans.
After a surprising playoff run last season, expectations in the Mile High City are through the roof. This game against the Titans marks the perfect opportunity for second-year quarterback Bo Nix to build on his success, showcase the revamped running game, and for the offense to deliver those jaw-dropping plays fans crave. Defensively, the Broncos return most of their unit, which led the NFL in sacks and produced last season's AP Defensive Player of the Year, cornerback Pat Surtain II. While they’ll miss linebacker Dre Greenlaw and defensive lineman Malcolm Roach, this defense is poised to shine once again.
Here are 5 key things I’m eager to see from the Broncos in their opener against the Titans:
1. A Lightning-Fast Offensive Start
The excitement in the stadium will be electrifying, so the Broncos must ignite the offense early. It’s crucial to put points on the board fast and apply immediate pressure on the Titans and rookie quarterback Cam Ward, making his debut.
Last season, the Broncos occasionally stumbled out of the gate, and we saw glimpses of it in the preseason too. It needs to change! The team has drafted talent like R.J. Harvey in the second round, signed the versatile J.K. Dobbins, and added ‘Joker’ Evan Engram. With Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin both poised for breakout seasons, this offense has the pieces to start explosively.
