RT: PICKED! Brandon Jones gets the ball back for the @Broncos. ?: #DENvsTB - Sunday on FOX ?: atnfl.co/watch https://t.co/gbDwujQh4b
RT: Jaleel McLaughlin finds the end zone on 4th and goal for the @Broncos TD! ?: #DENvsTB - Sunday on FOX ?: atnfl.co/watch https://t.co/JAS3O7Xctv
Broncos RB rushing: Tyler Badie 5 att for 57 yds J. Williams 5 for 12 McLaughlin 5 for 7
Javonte Williams (68%) and Rachaad White (81%) continue to dominate the RB snaps for their respective teams.
Stick here for live updates and analysis as Denver takes on the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Broncos inactives (9:33 a.m.):
WR Troy Franklin active again. OL Frank Crum active for the first time.
Vele cracked a rib in Week 1 and was out last week, but he was a full participant in Friday’s practice. — Gabriel
Field conditions (9:24 p.m.): The field looks fantastic, especially considering USF hosted Miami here last night. I did try to get onto ship to shoot cannon. It goes off after scores. I wanted to pretend Broncos scored a touchdown in the red zone. This is a bac matchup on paper. But at some point the Broncos offense has to look competitive, right? — Renc
In the end, it was him, his secret.
Skewered for his outdated offense, ripped for not customizing plays for a rookie quarterback, criticized for game management decisions, Sean Payton decided if the Broncos won the coin toss they were taking the ball.
The players had no idea. Captains Alex Singleton and Wil Lutz learned moments before walking to midfield.
When they announced in the press box that the Broncos would receive — the offense logged 14 three-and-outs in two straight losses — I figured Payton had lost it, his mind melting in the 90-degree heat and humidity
Stat line: 25 for 36, 216 passing yards; nine carries, 47 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Highlight: Nix’s first drive of the game was a thing of beauty. It was a strong balance of the offensive line delivering solid pass protection and Nix making plays with his arm. He completed a 22-yard pass to wide receiver Courtland Sutton before a 31-yard completion to Josh Reynolds. After Nix’s 11-yard pass to running back Javonte Williams, he scrambled three yards for a touchdown to complete a six-play, 70-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead
Baker Mayfield PICKED OFF by Brandon Jones.
Broncos Ball.
@NFL_DovKleiman: Bo Nix rushing TD!
https://t.co/Ei7A9aAlnh https://t.co/gR47ITXf4q
Chris Godwin: 2022: 3 TDs in 15 games 2023: 3 TDs in 17 games 2024: 3 TDs in 2.5 games
Tyler Badie and Bucky Irving both had 9 carries for 70 yards today. Both played <33% of his team's snaps.
Mike Evans in the midst of a dud, but no need to panic considering he drew Pat Surtain shadow coverage as expected.
The Bucs win their challenge and recover a fumble. It was forced by LB Lavonte David, the 29th forced fumble of his incredible career.
Buccaneers long snapper Evan Deckers has been declared OUT (hamstring) of Tampa Bay’s Week 3 matchup with the Denver Broncos.

— Buccaneers Communications (@BuccaneersComms) September 22, 2024
Deckers is the only listed long snapper on the Bucs roster, it is unclear who will take Tampa Bay’s long snapping duties on special teams. Backup center Robert Hainsey may be pressed into attempting these snaps
There are numerous player prop bets on Rachaad White for the 1:00 PM ET game Sunday, which airs live on FOX. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) and White face off versus the Denver Broncos (0-2) in a Week 3 matchup from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
