Denver Broncos Face AFC Rivals in 2025 NFL Schedule

The Denver Broncos are emerging as one of the NFL's most promising teams for the 2025 season, following a major quarterback transition from Russell Wilson to rookie Bo Nix. Nix overcame early struggles to become a solid starter, helping the Broncos reach the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl 50 win, though they lost in the wild-card round. The team further strengthened its roster by signing key defensive players like Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga, bolstering what is now considered one of the league's top secondaries and defensive lines. Their offensive line, ranked best in both run and pass blocking, positions them ahead of most AFC West rivals, though concerns remain about the running back group. The Broncos-Texans matchup is highlighted as a must-watch game in 2025, given Houston's dynamic offense led by C.J. Stroud and Denver's revamped defense. Despite improvements, Denver faces a challenging path in a division with strong competitors like the Chiefs and Chargers.
