Rookie QB Cam Ward Debuts Against Broncos' Stifling Defense
5 Sep
Summary
- No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward makes NFL debut for Titans
- Denver Broncos favored by 8.5 points at home
- Broncos have high postseason expectations in 2025

On Sunday, September 10th, 2025, rookie quarterback Cam Ward will make his highly anticipated NFL debut as the Tennessee Titans take on the Denver Broncos. However, the Titans are set as major underdogs, with the Broncos favored by 8.5 points at home.
The Broncos, who made the playoffs last season under the guidance of head coach Sean Payton, are expected to have a big year in 2025 as they attempt to dethrone the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. With second-year signal-caller Bo Nix leading the offense and a stifling defense, the Broncos are poised for a deep postseason run.
Meanwhile, the Titans are not expected to compete for a playoff spot this season, but if Ward can shine right away, that could change. The young quarterback will have his work cut out for him against the Broncos' formidable defense, which was ranked second in the league in yards per play last season.
