The Denver Broncos notched a signature road victory yesterday, beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-7 to secure Denver's first win of the season.
The big picture: The defense stepped up big for the Broncos, grabbing an early interception and holding the Bucs to a season-low seven points.
Between the lines:Rookie quarterback Bo Nix didn't throw for a touchdown but scored one on the ground, scrambling into the end zone from three yards out to give the Broncos the lead in the first quarter.
Denver never trailed during the game.
What's next: The Broncos (1-2) travel to MetLife Stadium next Sunday for a midday matchup against the surging New York Jets (2-1).
