Todd Bowles dismissed the idea that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-7 defeat to the Denver Broncos was a wakeup call, insisting they're already fully aware and prepared. The loss halted the Bucs' attempt for a third consecutive victory this season, a feat last achieved in 2005.

The Broncos outperformed the Bucs both offensively and defensively. Despite Baker Mayfield's efforts, including a lone touchdown pass to Chris Godwin, the Bucs struggled to find consistency, finishing with only 223 yards against Denver's 352.

Mayfield took responsibility for the team's struggles, especially with missing key players like Luke Goedeke. While the offensive line allowed numerous sacks, Mayfield emphasized the need for improved execution and trust in star receiver Mike Evans, who was effectively contained by Denver's defense.

Bowles echoed the sentiment of maintaining confidence and the necessity of improving performance moving forward.
