The Denver Broncos will kick off the 2020 season on Monday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans.

Though the Broncos will be the home team in the final game of Week 1, it is a bit of a tough draw to have to go against a team that reached the AFC Championship Game last season after going on a heck of a run to close the year.

Vic Fangio will be entering his second season as the team’s head coach and if the Broncos are going to break their four-year streak of not making the playoffs, getting off to a 1-0 start could be imperative.

And if you watched the Kansas City Chiefs easily outclass the Houston Texans on Thursday night, you know that the Broncos will need to be much improved in 2020 if there is any hope of being AFC West champions.

The Titans have gained a reputation for being one of the league’s most physical teams on both sides of the ball, so this is going to be a real challenge for a Broncos team looking to get off to a hot start out of the gate.

With it being the first game of the season, there are several storylines to track in this one. Here’s what to watch for during the second game of the Monday night doubleheader.
