The Bucs won for the second-time ever in the Mile High City thanks to a dominating pressure defense and three TD
passes from Tom Brady. A blocked punt by Patrick O’Connor set up the first score and the Bucs were never in real
danger from then on. The defense forced five sacks, two interceptions and a safety. This was the first game in 2020
Tampa Bay played in front of fans as just over 5,000 were allowed in by Denver authorities to watch the victory.
