The Denver Broncos will open the 2025 NFL season at home.

This was a calculated offseason by Broncos GM George Paton and Coach Payton as the team looks to help Nix take the next steps as the franchise quarterback. In doing that, the team's shot-callers want to make the Broncos a perennial playoff team and Super Bowl contenders, and they hope to do that last part here soon.

Denver has won two consecutive "Monday Night Football" games, including last year's 41-32 win over the Browns that included a pair of defensive touchdowns and a 93-yard pass from Bo Nix to Mims. The Broncos have played on "Monday Night Football" in 33 of the last 34 seasons.

This game will have massive AFC playoff implications for the Denver Broncos, and revenge is a dish best served cold.
