Broncos' Dominant Defense Stifles Titans in Season Opener

On September 11, 2025, the Denver Broncos' defense made a strong statement in their season-opening 20-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos' defense finished Week 1 as the league's top-ranked unit in several key categories, including total defense, defensive EPA, fewest yards per play allowed, pass defense, sacks, and fewest first downs allowed.

Despite the Broncos' own offensive struggles, which included 4 turnovers, the defense kept the team in the game, holding the Titans to just 12 points. The Broncos' defense was particularly stifling, not allowing a touchdown on two of the Titans' five possessions that started inside the Broncos' 50-yard line.

However, the Broncos know they will face a much tougher test in the coming weeks. Four of their next five opponents scored at least 24 points in Week 1, and they will have to contend with some of the NFL's best quarterbacks, including the Chargers' Justin Herbert, the Bengals' Joe Burrow, and the reigning Super Bowl MVP, the Eagles' Jalen Hurts. But the Broncos' defense remains confident, with linebacker Alex Singleton stating, "I'm excited to be a part of it ... you just have to do what you're supposed to do because everybody around you is going to do what they're supposed to do at a high, high level."
