Pass rush fueling the Broncos' strong defensive start

TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- Denver Broncos outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman could do little but smile as he was serenaded Sunday evening by perhaps the world's most physically imposing choir.

As Tillman answered questions in the locker room, his teammates bombarded him with shouts of "Tiiiilllll'' and "Look at him, look at him ..." Tillman, who was toiling on the practice squad a mere 48 hours prior, had made history with two sacks in his first NFL game. He was part of a Denver pass rush that provided heavy fuel in a 26-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
