ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Palm trees and warm Gulf breezes await the Broncos this weekend, but their trip to the west coast of Florida to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is no vacation.
They wrapped up their preparation for the Bucs at midday Friday, and they know they will face a team ravenous to not only put a letdown loss behind them, but also recalibrate their attack after throwing more passes in three weeks than anyone else.
That's where Friday's notes begin:
1. BUCS WANT BALANCE
And that means they don't want quarterback Jameis Winston throwing the ball 46 times a game, as he has on average so far this season.
