Broncos call heads. The coin comes up heads. The Broncos elect to host the opening kickoff. Interesting. They didn’t delay.

Bang!! Nix finds Sutton for 22 yards

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Nothing to Javonte before 11.
Third and 2 out of 3.

Bo Nix is ​​​​making his second rushing TD of the year and the #Bronco’s go straight down the field on their opening drive.

Nix 4/4 for 70 yards and a 3-yard TD run to close out the march.

The Broncos defense started with a three-and-out.

Fullback Michael Burton matches up with Javonte. Broncos are looking to do it this series.

— MikeKlis9NEWS (@mikeklis9news) September 22, 2024

Broncos have a three and out. Bo and Lil’Jordan Humphrey on different pages.

On 3rd and 4th

INTERCEPTED BY BRANDON JONES!!!

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Sean Payton contests the play call. It was hard to see on the replay. Does it look like he made it?

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Javonte Williams is likely in attendance, but is there any irrefutable visual evidence?

This is where having the No. 7 broadcast crew hurts the team doing the challenge. Less cameras.

The verdict stands.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 22, 2024

TOUCHDOWN, Broncos.

Jaleel McLaughlin with a great individual performance.

He was almost tackled and lost, but was still able to run to the pylon.

14-0, Denver.

A bad punt gives the Broncos good field position

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

#Bronco’s dominate the first quarter and lead 14-0 against Tampa.

Bo Nix: 6/8 for 74 yards
Tampa has 22 yards and one first down.

— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) September 22, 2024

Very good catch by Courtland for 17 yards.

— Mike Rice (@MikeRice139) September 22, 2024

If you hold the ball, the Broncos are thrown back 10 yards.

The old “Holding, 72 on the attack”

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Penalties on Garett Bolles and Ben Powers derail a promising run, but the #Bronco’s led 17-0 on a field goal by Wil Lutz.

— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) September 22, 2024

Franklin gets a few more yards on a screen and the field goal unit comes out.

Wil Lutz is GOOD from 43 meters

Broncos: 17
Pirates: 0

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Baker Mayfield’s fourth-down pass is incomplete.

Ja’Quan McMillian with suffocating reporting on Chris Godwin.

It feels like an important moment in this match.

— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) September 22, 2024

On 3rd and 3…Nix holds it and gets the 1st down!

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Javonte runs hard and falls forward to get a good lead…but he loses the ball.

Umpires ruled he was down but Todd Bowles throws a challenge I think this will be overturned

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Two productive runs in a row for the Bucs.

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Bucky Irving shows why he should be the Bucs’ RB1. Dynamic playcalling, but his vision is also top notch.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 22, 2024

Javonte Williams’ season-high rushing line through 2:00 of the second quarter today: 50 yards on 23 carries (2.17 average), 1 fumble.

Much more effective as a pass catcher: 69 nice yards on 9 catches, 7.7-yard average.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 22, 2024

Chris Godwin scores the touchdown on the next play.

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 22, 2024

Nothing to Mims for 9. Ball for 20.
Not complete, clock stops.
Third and 1 on TB20.
:11 links 2Q

— MikeKlis9NEWS (@mikeklis9news) September 22, 2024

Wil Lutz is GOOD just before half time.

Broncos extend lead to 20-7

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 22, 2024

Bo Nix with a GREAT first half:

18/23
169 passing yards
97.3 passer rating

21 rushing yards (team leads)
1 quick touchdown
