The Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare intensively each week to exploit their opponents' weaknesses and leverage their strengths to score the most points. This Sunday, they face the Denver Broncos at Raymond James Stadium, with key player matchups to watch.
Mike Evans of the Buccaneers will go up against Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, both of whom are regarded as elite at their positions. Surtain's ability to neutralize top receivers will be crucial, while Evans' physical play will be tested.
On the offensive line, Buccaneers’ Cody Mauch will have to contend with defensive end Zach Allen, who has found new life in Denver as he disrupts opponents from a new position. Lastly, defensive strategist Todd Bowles will look to rattle rookie quarterback Bo Nix with aggressive blitzes, especially given the Broncos' injury concerns.
