Well, that sucked.
In what feels like classic Buccaneers fashion, the franchise followed up a massive, headline-making win against the Detroit Lions by completely no-showing against a winless Denver Broncos team and losing 26-7 Sunday.
A 14-0 first-quarter deficit pretty much spelled the end before either unit really got a chance to get settled. Mistakes snowballed, and the effort looked lackluster as rookie QB Bo Nix easily picked up a depleted secondary.
Not much else more to say, let’s give some shoutouts and move on.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that if the Bucs wish to create any semblance of a rushing attack, it needs to be center on the rookie out of Oregon.
