Broncos will make franchise quarterback history in Week 1 for the second straight year originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Denver Broncos have one of the more interesting matchups in Week 1 as they will be welcoming the Tennessee Titans to Empower Field. Of course, that means the NFL regular-season debut of No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward.
That will make history for the Broncos, as they have never faced a rookie quarterback in a season opener in team history. Jeff Legwold of ESPN details here that it has not happened since the merger in 1970, but even dating back to the AFL days, the Broncos never opened a season against a rookie QB.
