The Denver Broncos risk starting 0-3 for the second season in a row if they are unable to get past Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sean Payton is a whopping 8-0 against Todd Bowles when he’s been a head coach and a defensive coordinator.
The Bucs are also likely going to be without Antoine Winfield Jr, Vita Vea, and Calijah Kancey in Week 3, three of their best players on defense. Furthermore, while the Buccaneers are 2-0, they are far from perfect. They’ve allowed a ton of yards through two games. Tampa Bay has allowed a whopping 381 yards per game thus far, which is the 5th-most in the NFL.
They’re allowing 138.5 rushing yards per game and 242.5 passing yards per game. If the Broncos offense can’t get something going in Week 3, would it be time to hit the panic button? You may laugh at that considering that it’s still just Week 3…
