Broncos will face Super Bowl champion and runner-up in 2025

The Broncos will face the Chiefs (home and away) and Eagles (away) during the 2025 NFL season.

No matter who wins the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Denver Broncos are guaranteed to face the defending champion (and runner-up) during the 2025 NFL season.

The Kansas City Chiefs (home and away) and Philadelphia Eagles (away) are both on Denver’s list of 2025 opponents for next season. The Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, will face Jalen Hurts and the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Kansas City is also set to host Philadelphia next season, so that game could be a prime candidate for the NFL’s season opener in 2025.

The Broncos’ full list of 2025 opponents features the AFC West, AFC South and NFC East, plus same-place finishers from the AFC North (Cincinnati Bengals), AFC East (New York Jets) and NFC North (Green Bay Packers).

In addition to facing Mahomes and Hurts, Denver’s defense will also face a tough list of quarterbacks including Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott and C.J. Stroud.

With an unbalanced 17-game schedule, the AFC and NFC rotate having eight or nine home games each season. After playing eight games at Empower Field at Mile High in 2024, the Broncos will have nine home games in 2025.

The Texans slot in the 2025 NFL Draft is now set

The Houston Texans know when they’ll be on the clock in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Houston Texans are on the clock.

Well, not yet, but at least they know their draft positioning entering April 25 in Green Bay.

Following a 24-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium, the Texans will select 25th overall in the 2025 draft. At 10-7, Houston had the worst record of any team remaining team, cementing the franchise with the lowest pick remaining.

Multiple positions could be in play ahead of free agency, but trench play has to be at the top of the list on both sides. Houston plans on upgrading one of the guard spots this offseason. The same goes for defensive tackle.

With Stefon Diggs set to hit free agency and Tank Dell out for most of next season, adding a wide receiver isn’t the worst option in the first round. And Houston could benefit from adding a long-term running mate with rookie Calen Bullock at safety.

The current pick is subject to trades, of course. Texans GM Nick Caserio has been a very aggressive dealmaker in the past, moving up nine spots in 2023 to select Will Anderson Jr. at the No. 3 overall following the selection of C.J. Stroud.

Last season, Caserio traded the first-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for two second-round picks and a future fifth-round pick, which was used in the trade for Diggs from Buffalo.

Will the Commanders play in Spain in 2025?

Could the Commanders play in Madrid next season?

Could the Washington Commanders play in the first NFL game in Madrid, Spain, next season?

On Friday, the Dolphins announced they would be the official home team for the league’s first game in Madrid.

So, how does this involve the Washington Commanders? The Commanders are one of nine teams on Miami’s home schedule next season. The Bills, Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Bengals, Saints, Buccaneers, Chargers and Commanders are all possibilities to make the trip to Spain in 2025.

The NFL generally doesn’t schedule division opponents for international games, which would seemingly exclude the Bills, Jets, and Patriots. The league revealed last year that Madrid would host a game in 2025.

“We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history,” Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said in a statement. “There is a hunger for football in this market, and we are proud to join with the NFL in growing the game internationally while engaging with old and new fans alike. With the unique synergy between Miami and Madrid, we believe this is only the beginning for us in this incredible region and we look forward to bringing the excitement and community of Dolphins football to Spain in 2025 and beyond.”

Miami is the fifth NFL team to be designated as a home team for international games next season. The Jaguars, Jets, and Browns will all play in London, while the Colts are the designated home team for a game in Germany. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell previously said he hoped to play eight international games in 2025.

PFF names one Texans former first-round pick as its top trade candidate

Kenyon Green should be on the move this offseason after three seasons with the Houston Texans.

Kenyon Green needs a fresh start after three underwhelming seasons with the Houston Texans.

Pro Football Focus agrees, which is why the publication tabbed the offensive lineman as Houston’s top trade candidate for the 2025 NFL offseason.

Green, a two-time All-American at Texas A&M, was expected to anchor the interior offensive line as a promising run blocker with upside in pass protection. Three seasons, three injuries and a slew of lackluster games later, the former No. 15 overall pick has moved down the depth chart in place of former starting right tackle Tytus Howard.

In his two healthy years, Green has recorded PFF overall grades of 37.7 and 38.6, struggling as both a run blocker and in pass protection. In fact, Green was the third-lowest-graded offensive lineman in the NFL this season (minimum 500 snaps). The sad truth is that Green’s inability to develop has severely hindered Houston’s interior offensive line and, thus, the team’s offensive efficacy. – PFF.

Houston plans on addressing its offensive line woes this offseason, but it starts by trimming away the current pieces. Shaq Mason is likely a cap cut after struggling to regain his 2023 form. Howard could also be on the move if the plan is to move former second-round pick Blake Fisher outside to right tackle permanently.

But Green, who still could have two years left on his deal, might be worth trading, espeically since teams are always looking to bolster their trench depth.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio assuredly understands that his team’s interior offensive line needs to be totally revamped, and that would theoretically leave Green on the trade block. One would expect Green to have supporters throughout the league, given his age (23) and strong career at Texas A&M not long ago.

The Texans have been linked to multiple offensive line prospects in the first round entering the pre-draft process, including Alabama’s Tyler Booker and Arizona’s Jonah Savaiinaea.

Currently, the Texans could be in line to replace three starting linemen for 2024. Green, however, is not one left in consideration.

Broncos’ list of 2025 opponents includes rematch with Bengals

Bo Nix vs. Joe Burrow, Part II. The Broncos will host the Bengals in 2025.

We don’t even have a date yet, but there’s one matchup on the Denver Broncos‘ upcoming 2025 schedule that everyone will have circled on their calendars.

The Broncos’ list of 2025 opponents was finalized on Sunday and the team’s slate of home opponents includes a rematch with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals beat the Broncos 30-24 in Week 17, but Denver then eliminated Cincinnati from playoff contention with a convincing win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.

The Broncos will be looking to counter their 2024 loss to the Bengals, and Cincinnati will be looking to let out some steam after Denver ultimately kept them out of the playoffs.

It’s the kind of game that would be perfect for a prime-time spotlight.

The Broncos’ full list of 2025 opponents features the AFC West, AFC South and NFC East, plus same-place finishers from the AFC North (Bengals), AFC East (New York Jets) and NFC North (Green Bay Packers).

In addition to facing Joe Burrow, Denver’s defense will also face a tough list of quarterbacks including Jayden Daniels, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott and C.J. Stroud.

With an unbalanced 17-game schedule, the AFC and NFC rotate having eight or nine home games each season. After playing eight games at Empower Field at Mile High in 2024, the Broncos will have nine home games in 2025.

Texans’ 2025 opponents are finalized: Who will Houston play next season?

Here’s who’s on the Houston Texans’ schedule for 2025 after another 10-win season.

Right now, the Houston Texans’ focus is built around winning a wild-card game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Then, all sights turn to securing the first divisional round victory in franchise history.

And if all goes according to plan, the Texans will look to punch their ticket to a Super Bowl and a date down in New Orleans with the NFC’s bell of the ball.

But now with the regular season over, Houston knows its path back to the postseason and a third consecutive AFC South division title for 2025. Unlike like year, there will be several usual suspects making a trip down to NRG Stadium next fall.

In addition to the six games in the AFC South, Houston will also play the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens again as conference champions.

Houston went 1-2 against the top three seeds, defeating the Bills in Week 5 while dropping back-to-back games on a short week to the Cheifs and Ravens.

Instead of facing off against the NFC North and AFC East, the Texans are paired with the NFC West and AFC West in the league’s rotation.

Houston will host Arizona, Denver, Las Vegas and San Francisco. They’ll travel to SoFi Stadium twice for matchups against the Chargers and Rams, while also returning to Arrowhead for the third time in five years.

To close out the schedule, the Texans will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, bringing their home total to nine games next season. The Buccaneers also finished with a 10-7 record after clinching the NFC South.

This past season, Houston traveled to Arlington for a “Monday Night Football” bout with the Dallas Cowboys as the crosstown AFC-NFC matchup.
