3. Ground and pound
In their first two games, the Denver rushing game was looking like the Broncos of old. They compiled nearly 300 yards on the ground, averaging nearly five yards per attempt.
That all came to a halt last week in Cincinnati.
Denver runners were held to just 52 yards on 23 carries, and it won’t be easy to get back on track Sunday.
The Buccaneers defense is a work in progress, but they are getting better at stopping the run. So far this season, Tampa is allowing just 98 yards per game on 3.5 yards per carry.
If the Broncos can generate some rushing yardage, though, they should be able to generate some points. Tampa is the lowest rated defense in points allowed, giving up 33.7 per game.
