Jayden Daniels and Commanders will host Bo Nix’s Broncos in 2025

A must-watch QB showdown: Jayden Daniels and the Commanders will host Bo Nix and the Broncos in 2025.

Two years after they shared a stage at the 2023 Heisman Trophy ceremony, quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix are set to face off on the field during the 2025 NFL season.

Daniels won the Heisman Trophy with 2,029 total points following the 2023 college football season. Nix (885 points) finished third in the voting behind Michael Penix (1,701 points) and Daniels.

Penix sat behind Kirk Cousins for most of his rookie year before starting the Atlanta Falcons’ final three games down the stretch. Nix had an impressive first year with the Denver Broncos, but it was Daniels who took home Rookie of the Year honors following his remarkable performance with the Washington Commanders in 2024.

Daniels (the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft) and Nix (the No. 12 pick) will always be connected. Next season, they will face off at Northwest Stadium when the Commanders host the Broncos on a to-be-announced date.

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.

Broncos are candidates for an international game in 2025

The Broncos are potential candidates for London (@ Jets) and Berlin (@ Colts) games in 2025. Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Ireland are TBA.

The Denver Broncos are candidates to play in one of the NFL’s international games next season.

Last week, the NFL announced that the New York Jets will “host” a game in London next season. Because the Broncos are one of the Jets’ “road” opponents next fall, Denver is in contention for that London game.

This week, the league announced that the Indianapolis Colts will be the “home” team for a game in Berlin in 2025. Indy is also on the Broncos’ list of “away” games, so Denver is also a candidate to play in Germany.

The NFL has not yet announced what clubs will be the “home” teams for potential international games in Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Ireland. The Broncos figure to be a strong candidate to eventually “host” a game in Mexico, which is the team’s designated international market.

There have been rumblings that the Miami Dolphins will play in Spain and the Pittsburgh Steelers will play in Ireland, but official announcements are yet to come. Denver’s list of 2025 opponents does not include the Dolphins or Steelers.

We already know the Broncos are a candidate for London and Berlin. We’ll find out in the coming weeks if any other teams on Denver’s schedule are set to host international games in 2025. The complete schedule is expected to be announced in May.

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.

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.
