The No. 1 pick from the 2025 Draft and the guy who posted the second-bet mark for passing touchdowns for a rookie quarterback last season open 2025 against each other on Sunday, Sept. 7 when the Tennessee Titans visit the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.

Cameron Ward was one of the best quarterbacks in college football last season and that helped earn him the honor of being the No. 1 pick back in April. Now he takes over for a Titans squad that went 3-14, along with two other teams last year, equaling the worst record in the NFL.
The Broncos went 10-7 last season and snuck into the playoffs in the final Wild Card slot. They were bounced in the opening round against the Buffalo Bills, but many ended 2024 impressed by quarterback Bo Nix and his 29 passing touchdowns and 3,775 passing yards. Nix also got 430 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground last season, creating serious expectations about just how much he can improve to help lead Denver even further.
However, the matchup that will really standout on Sunday is Ward against the Broncos defense, which is expected to be one of the best in the NFL. With reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II locking down one side of the field, Ward will get to see one of the best secondaries in the NFL as his first real test.
