"It might have been the glow of victory talking, but quarterback Bo Nix could have been speaking for almost everyone in the Denver Broncos' organization after this past Sunday's season-opening win. "It's the best feeling when you have a great defense," he said. The Broncos exited their 20-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans with the usual list of things to clean up, dissect and repair."
"Denver finished Week 1 as the league's No. 1 defense in a pile of categories, including total defense (133.0 yards per game), defensive EPA (20.18), fewest yards per play allowed (2.4), pass defense (62.0 yards per game), sacks (six) and fewest first downs allowed (seven). Toss in a No. 5 ranking in scoring defense (12.0 points per game), and it was a quality introduction to the 2025 season."
The Denver Broncos opened the 2025 season with a 20-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans powered by a dominant defense. Denver finished Week 1 leading the league in total defense (133.0 yards), defensive EPA (20.18), fewest yards per play allowed (2.4), pass defense (62.0 yards) and sacks (six), and allowed the fewest first downs (seven). The defense limited the Titans to only two field goals despite four Broncos turnovers and held Tennessee scoreless on two possessions that began inside Denver's 50. Players celebrated the unit's performance and emphasized returning to work to sustain the high level.
