The Bucs stay at home for their fourth game of the season, this time playing the defending Super Bowl champions.  The Denver Broncos may be Manning-less, but that wont stop that defense. Even with big name Malik Jackson heading to Jacksonville, their dominating defense is still around.

The Bucs’ will need to keep Jameis off his back or this could be a long game.  The Broncos’ offense by the fourth game of the season could either be led by Mark Sanchez or the rookie, Paxton Lynch.

Bucs’ fans witnessed last season what happens when Sanchez plays the Bucs’ after his Eagles lost 45-17 up in Philadelphia.  If the Bucs are lucky enough to play two rookie quarterbacks in consecutive weeks, don’t be surprised if Mike Smith is able to fool Lynch with the same schemes and tricks as he did Jared Goff and the Rams.
