The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter their matchup as significant favorites against a struggling Denver Broncos team. Despite a talent disparity, the Bucs must remain vigilant, especially with Patrick Surtain II as the Broncos' standout cornerback.

Key Broncos players include wide receivers Cortland Sutton and Josh Reynolds, and offensive tackle Garrett Bolles, alongside defensive talents like Surtain, Zach Allen, and Jonathon Cooper. The Broncos face challenges in keeping up with the Bucs' offensive onslaught and need time to develop their core talents.
