Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos throws a pass against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the third quarter of the Broncos’ 26-7 win at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. TAMPA — The biggest play of Bo Nix’s first NFL win won’t go on his career highlight reel.
The march in the moment represented Denver taking control of their eventual 26-7 win over the Buccaneers with an iron grip. In a broader sense, it provided a blueprint for this team, imperfect as it is, to attempt to replicate as it moves forward and tries to turn an 0-2 start into a footnote throughout a two-week East Coast sojourn.
Midway through the third quarter, though, the Broncos were losing the field position battle and had gone three-and-out on their first drive of the second half. Nix completed 7 of 10 for 47 yards and added 22 on the ground. The Broncos caught a break, too, when the Bucs inexplicably jumped offside two straight plays to turn a third-and-14 Not superhero stuff, but super efficient stuff given the game flow.Wil Lutz of the Denver Broncos lines up a field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the fourth quarter of the Broncos’ 26-7 win at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024.
This is asking a lot of Nix as a rookie, to play mistake-free and shift gears on time between aggressive and tactical. Not many teams will have a pass-rush as lifeless as Tampa’s was Sunday. Sometimes a tipped ball or a misfire will find defensive hands rather than green grass.
