Broncos Aim for First Win Against Buccaneers in Week 3 Showdown
This Sunday, the Denver Broncos are set to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in a critical Week 3 matchup. Scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. MT, this game holds significant implications for both teams. The Broncos, seeking their first win of the season, come into this contest with an 0-2 record. In contrast, the Buccaneers have started strong, boasting a 2-0 record and looking to maintain their momentum.
Historically, the Broncos have fared well against the Buccaneers, winning four of their last five encounters. Denver will rely on their formidable defense, which has been steadily building confidence throughout the early part of the season. The key challenge will be containing the Buccaneers’ offense, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield. With an impressive 129.1 passer rating this season—currently the second-highest in the league—Mayfield has thrown five touchdown passes and accounted for six total touchdowns, putting him at the top of the NFL charts. Broncos cornerbacks Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss will play a pivotal role in limiting the impact of Tampa Bay's star wide receivers, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Additionally, defensive end Zach Allen, who played a whopping 92% of the snaps in the previous game, aims to keep up his dominant performance after recording four tackles and a sack last week.

On the offensive side, Denver is looking to enhance its red zone efficiency. Quarterback Bo Nix will need to maintain his connection with wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who leads the team in receiving yards. The potential return of wide receiver Devaughn Vele, who missed Week 2, could provide a much-needed boost to the Broncos' passing game.
In terms of injuries, the Broncos will be without outside linebacker Baron Browning and safety JL Skinner, while defensive end John Franklin-Myers and safety Brandon Jones have been cleared to play. For the Buccaneers, key players such as tackle Luke Goedeke and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. have been ruled out, raising questions about their defensive capabilities.
As the game approaches, both teams will be eyeing this matchup closely. The Broncos, eager to shake off their early-season struggles, are hopeful that their defense can stifle the Buccaneers' high-powered offense. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and continue their winning streak. This clash promises to be an exciting contest, filled with strategic battles and high-stakes plays as both teams strive to achieve their season goals. Whether the Broncos can pull off an upset or the Buccaneers maintain their undefeated status will unfold this Sunday in Tampa.
