The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced a disappointing 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos, marking their worst home defeat since 2020. Coach Todd Bowles described the game as a 'complete team collapse,' highlighting issues with execution and physicality. Quarterback Baker Mayfield acknowledged the team's struggles, particularly in matching the Broncos' energy. The Bucs' defense failed to pressure rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who had a standout performance against them. As they prepare for a challenging matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bucs aim to bounce back and avoid a repeat of last year's mid-season collapse.

• The Bucs' loss was characterized by poor execution and a lack of physicality.
• Baker Mayfield is currently the third-most sacked quarterback this season.
• The defense struggled without key players like Vita Vea and Calijah Kancey.
