The Denver Broncos' second preseason game of 2025 is in the books, coming out on top vs. the Arizona Cardinals 27-7. Several Broncos transformed the hype around their training camp buzz into tangible results on both sides of the ball.

Both teams look to build on preseason opening victories as Arizona faces Denver at Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday night.

Josh Sweat and Zaven Collins are Arizona's two starting outside linebackers, and they presumably won't play in Denver. That could leave Browning as the team's top pass rusher on Saturday, and he'd probably like to prove a point against his old team. The Broncos traded Browning to the Cardinals last November in exchange for a late-round draft pick.

Denver has certainly tried to help the Oregon product in that regard this offseason, signing tight end Noah Fant and running back J.K. Dobbins in free agency while also drafting pieces like halfback RJ Harvey and receiver Pat Bryant. But even still, the Broncos' playmakers are mostly unproven. Or, at the very least, questionable.

The Arizona Cardinals play against the Denver Broncos in an NFL preseason game tonight. Fans can watch this game for free online.

On defense, watch safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. He will look a lot like Budda Baker in his play style. He is likely the No. 3 edge guy in the rotation behind Josh Sweat and Zaven Collins. He will play a lot.

Alex Palczewski knows the saying’s a bit crude. The message behind it, though, is critical to his process. The third-year Broncos offensive lineman spent six years at the University of Illinois, and his first offensive line coach was Luke Butkus. Yeah, familiar name.
