The Broncos will travel to Tampa Bay in Week 3 for their first of two consecutive East Coast road games. Denver will look to earn its first win of the season against a Buccaneers team that started the game 2-0. The Broncos have won four of their last five games against the Buccaneers and will look to improve on that record on Sunday.

Denver’s defense, which has gained momentum over the first two weeks of the season, will face a challenging Buccaneers offense led by quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mayfield’s 129.1 passer rating in 2024 is currently second-highest in the NFL, while his five passing touchdowns and six total touchdowns both rank first in the NFL. Denver should look to disrupt that production as the team looks to limit Tampa Bay wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. The Broncos’ cornerbacks Pat Surtain II And Riley Moss could play a key role in this effort. Defensive End Zach Allen could look to continue his dominant presence on defense this week as well. Allen played 92 percent of Denver’s defensive snaps in Week 2 and recorded four tackles and a sack during the game.

Offensively, Denver will look to gain some momentum as the team continues to emphasize more efficiency in the red zone. Quarterback Bo Nix could try to maintain his connection with wide receiver Josh Reynoldswho leads the team in receiving yards this season. Wide Receiver Devaughn Vele could return to the field for this week’s game after missing Week 2. Vele led the Broncos in pass catches in Week 1 and could be involved in Denver’s passing game again this weekend.

Denver’s special teams should continue to try to make big plays after receiving punts from Riley Dixon at the 1-yard line in two consecutive games.

The Broncos ruled out outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) and safety JL Skinner (ankle). Defensive end John Franklin-Myers (concussion) and safety Brandon Jones (foot) were upgraded to full participants and did not receive game status. The lack of a game status indicates a player will be available for the matchup.

For Tampa Bay, tackle Luke Goedeke, defensive lineman Calijah Kancey and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. have been ruled out. Wide receiver Kameron Johnson and nose tackle Vita Vea are considered questionable, while defensive lineman William Gholston and defensive back Josh Hayes are questionable.
