Nix surprised fans with a Rookie of the Year-caliber campaign to lead the Broncos to the playoffs in 2024, helping them snap an eight-year postseason drought. While Denver might not be a Super Bowl contender just yet, it should be due for another big year.

The Denver Broncos will open the 2025 NFL season at home.

Denver's 2025 season starts at home, as the Broncos will kick off the year with a Week 1 matchup with first-overall pick Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos will look to earn a Week 1 win for the first time since 2021, and they'll aim to win their eighth Week 1 home game in their last 11 tries.

This was a calculated offseason by Broncos GM George Paton and Coach Payton as the team looks to help Nix take the next steps as the franchise quarterback. In doing that, the team's shot-callers want to make the Broncos a perennial playoff team and Super Bowl contenders, and they hope to do that last part here soon.
