The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced a challenging defeat against the Denver Broncos, losing 26-7. The offense failed to produce, extending their streak to 23 games without a touchdown on their opening drive, while the defense struggled to contain Denver's rookie quarterback. With a rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon, the Bucs need to refocus and improve in key areas.

Highlights included running back Bucky Irving's 70 yards on nine carries and a solid performance from Tykee Smith, who recorded six tackles. In contrast, the offensive line struggled dramatically, contributing to Baker Mayfield's tough outing, and cornerback Jamel Dean faced heavy challenges covering wide receiver Cortland Sutton. The team looks to rebound quickly amidst a tough schedule ahead.
