The Denver Broncos are going to be set to do something that no other team in the NFL will have the opportunity to do in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season.

The full schedule is not yet out at the time of this writing, but games are being leaked and released all Monday and Tuesday before the full release on Wednesday, May 14. So far, it has been revealed that the Broncos will play the New York Jets in London in Week 6 and the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas in Week 17.

And now, we know who this revamped offense and stacked defense will get a shot at in Week 1 in an attempt to get their season off to a hot start.

According to Jordan Schultz, the Denver Broncos are set to play the Tennessee Titans Week 1, Sunday, September 7 at 4 PM EST. That means that the Broncos will have the chance to play Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, before anyone else.

Ward, the former Miami Hurricanes QB, was drafted first overall for a reason -- he's pretty dang good, and with how their quarterback situation is, he will start Week 1. The Broncos defense will not only be the first to go against him, but it will be a cruise for the defense, as they could very weell have the best defense in the league in 2025, and will play against a rookie QB in his first ever game.

This game could also be very good, though. The Broncos, under Sean Payton, have started seasons off slow, and for all we know, the Titans and Ward could be pretty good. We have seen it out of rookies before.

Either way, this one should be fun to watch.
