Denver, CO — Na so e be! Denver Broncos don kick off their 2025 NFL season with correct swagger, after dem beat Tennessee Titans 20-12 for Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday.
As dem enter second half trailing 12-10, Broncos show say dem no wan dull. Dem score 10 points wey no get response, proving say dem defense get serious muscle. Na dat same muscle wey help dem collect six sacks of Titans rookie quarterback, Cam Ward. (Wetin be wetin? No be ‘first overall pick’ possess?)
Nobody no dey talk about touchdowns wey dey show for newspaper; na fumble and interceptions wey dem sabi collecting. Ward manage 12 completions for 28 attempts, earning only 112 yards plus wetin no reach 55% on rating. E no get any touchdown, just one fumble wey shine anyhow when e carry ball wan play finish.
For Broncos side, Bo Nix throw touchdown pass, plus a two interceptions for pesin wey dey try make name. And rookie running back, R.J. Harvey, brighten the day for Denver with 50-yard run wey set up J.K. Dobbins wey come explore land with 19-yard touchdown run. (Baba Dobbins don show say e dey ready for action!)
But e no be say Titans no try; dem manage four field goals to keep dem in the match, but the truth be say their offensive pattern na confusion. Dem no fit make touchdown, and dem keep committing penalties wey turn their possible points to smoke.
Late for the match, Titans get three correct chances to tie am, but dem waka like lost lambs. After one solid defensive stop where Titans recover punt on Denver 24-yard line, dem no do ojoro; instead dem fall back with consecutive sacks from Denver defenders. If na me, I for collect to chop small jollof, but dem just ruin their chance.
As Denver kick their way through time and chance, Titans defensive tackle, Jeffery Simmons, chop one unnecessary roughness flag before dem recover one lost ball. Omo, referee don turn mumu with dem flag abeg!
Injuries join the show as Titans’ running back grab ankle injury while Broncos TE dey limp out; na wah! Na only God fit save waiting dey follow dis football families.
Next week, Titans go host Los Angeles Rams for their house; we go see if dem fit take correction from this loss. As for Denver, dem go travel go meet the Miami Dolphins next. We dey expect more ogbonge vibes!
