After further review of the film, Todd Bowles did not feel any better about Sunday’s 26-7 loss to Denver. The eye in the sky didn’t change the frown on the ground. “It was as bad as I thought it was,” Bowles said Monday.

Here at Bucs Wire, we usually recap the team's game that week, but the Bucs' performance against the Broncos has made us change our approach. For one week only, we will keep this recap and grading system simple.

One of my keys to victory against Tampa was for the Broncos pass rushers to batter and bruise Mayfield, and Denver’s defenders demolished him with seven total sacks. Dondrea Tillman, who was just promoted to the 53-man roster three days ago, led the team with three QB hits and two sacks for -18 yards.
