Broncos Secure First Win of Season Against Buccaneers

The Denver Broncos secured their first victory of the 2024 season with a dominant 26-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, showcasing a strong performance from rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who threw for 216 yards and rushed for a touchdown. Cornerback Patrick Surtain II excelled defensively, limiting Pro Bowler Mike Evans to just one catch for eight yards.
