The Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will meet in a Week 3 NFL matchup at Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers enter this game with a perfect 2-0 record, having defeated the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions in their first two games. Tampa Bay’s offense, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, has been firing on all cylinders. Mayfield has completed 73.5% of his passes for 474 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception through two games. The combination of Chris Godwin and Mike Evans has been particularly effective, combining for 303 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The Buccaneers’ defense, while allowing 381 yards per game, has been stout in critical situations, allowing only one touchdown in the red zone against the Lions. The team will look to continue its momentum and push for its first 3-0 start since 2005.

The Denver Broncos, on the other hand, have started 0-2 and are struggling to find their footing under rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Nix has completed 59.7% of his passes for 384 yards but has yet to throw a touchdown and has four interceptions. The Broncos’ ground game has also been lackluster, averaging only 81.5 yards per game, with Nix leading the team in rushing yards. Defensively, the Broncos have been decent, allowing 19.5 points and 277.5 yards per game, but they have failed to capitalize on offensive opportunities, especially in the red zone, where they rank last in the NFL with a 14.3% conversion rate. For the Broncos to have a chance, they will need to find offensive rhythm and reduce turnovers.
