The Denver Broncos embarked on their inaugural 10-day Eastern road trip, beginning with a strong 26-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a rough start to the season. Rather than heading back home, they are currently staying at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, used previously by their coach Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints.

Payton emphasized the team's commitment to maintaining their routine while away and reminisced about a favorable trip in 2017 that propelled the Saints to success after a shaky beginning.

While the defense has shined, limiting opponents to 15.3 points per game, injuries have plagued the Broncos as several key players have been placed on injured reserve. Rookie Bo Nix is still seeking his first touchdown pass, while Dondrea Tillman impressed with two sacks in his debut.
