After two fantastic weeks to start the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trying to get to 3-0 for the first time in almost 20 years.
The last time the Bucs started that hot was back in 2005, which is hard to believe, considering how great things were once Tom Brady arrived. Even with how well that chapter was, it didn't involve any undefeated starts to the season—at least none that lasted as long as what Tampa Bay can do this week.
Sean Payton prevented the Bucs from an undefeated start the first year Brady was in Tampa Bay, and he will try to play spoiler again this Sunday. He's in town with the Denver Broncos, a team the Bucs should beat but could struggle against in a trap game.
If all goes well, Tampa Bay should take care of business rather easily. Nothing about the Broncos is particularly intimidating, and rookie Bo Nix doesn't need much help to get himself into trouble. Even with a defense depleted by injuries, the Bucs are in a position that if they can stay out of their own way then the first 3-0 start since Jon Gruden was the head coach is in store.
Radio stations for Buccaneers vs. Broncos
Catching the game on television is one thing, but any Buccaneers fan can tell you that the sweet sounds of Gene Deckerhoff will go a long way in making a Sunday even better.

It's a NFL on FOX doubleheader, which means fans in Tampa will be getting a second game after the Buccaneers one ends. Like most of the country, the Ravens-Cowboys game will be broadcast locally while the only CBS game this will be the Dolphins-Seahawks game also slated to kick off in the late window.
This means that during the Bucs-Broncos game, there will not be another regionally broadcast game on television.
