What you need to know about the Broncos
The Broncos are trying to avoid an 0-3 hole to start the season and they'll need a far better offensive effort after losing 13-6 to the Steelers last week. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw for 246 yards, but also was intercepted twice. Denver couldn't get anything going on the ground as Nix was the leading rusher with 25 yards. Starting running back Javonte Williams averaged only 1.5 yards per carry.
Denver will be without offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) for at least the next four games after he was placed on injured reserve this week. Linebacker Baron Browning (foot) and safety JL Skinner (safety) have been ruled out. See who to back at SportsLine.
What you need to know about the Buccaneers
Meanwhile, the Bucs upset the Lions with a 20-16 win in Week 2. The victory made it back-to-back wins and covers for Tampa Bay, who were 7.5-point road underdogs at Detroit. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Buccaneers to victory, but perhaps none more so than Chris Godwin, who picked up 117 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The Bucs are listing defensive tackle William Gholston (knee) and defensive back Josh Hayes (ankle) as questionable. Offensive tackle Luke Goedeke (concussion) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) are out, while defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) and receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) are listed as doubtful.
