The Tennessee Titans open their 2025 season on the road against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High.
Tennessee begins a new era under coach Brian Callahan, with rookie quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward making his debut.
Denver, meanwhile, looks to build momentum in Sean Payton’s second year, led by second-year QB Bo Nix, tight end Evan Engram, and a defense that topped the league in sacks last season.
Ward’s first test will be facing that elite pass rush, which could set the tone early if the Broncos generate quick pressure. His chemistry with receiver Calvin Ridley will also be tested against Patrick Surtain II in one of the league’s toughest coverage matchups.
On offense, Denver’s ground game with R.J. Harvey and J.K. Dobbins will be key to balancing Nix’s attack behind a reshuffled line. Defensively, injuries to Dre Greenlaw and Malcolm Roach put the spotlight on depth players like Alex Singleton and Eyioma Uwazurike to deliver in their absence.
Predictions
Denver’s edge is clear in experience, environment, and identity. The Broncos’ defense and offense look poised to control. While Tennessee’s youth injects unpredictability, a tough Denver crowd and well-rounded team likely steer the outcome.
Projected Final Score: Broncos 28, Titans 14
