Broncos Country LIVE: HC Sean Payton meets the media after #DENvsTB
Sep 23, 2024 at 07:18 am
The Broncos had drives of 13 and 15 plays Sunday, both resulting in field goals. Both possessions had more plays than any possession Denver had in its first two games.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — It was a 10-second warning about the plan.
Courtland Sutton was walking to midfield before Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers with the five other team captains for the Broncos, and even he didn’t know about the decision until the coin was about to be flipped into the air.
Sean Payton, like most head coaches in the NFL, prefers to defer when his team wins the toss. The logic is that if you can score before halftime and then get the ball back to start the third quarter, you can quickly stack points onto the scoreboard at a critical juncture in a game.
But Payton was seeking something equally important Sunday against the Buccaneers: a chance to jumpstart Denver’s sagging offense. That called for a different approach.
“Every once in a while,” Payton said, “you send a little message.”

When the Broncos called “heads,” saw the coin land face up and asked for the ball, Sutton felt a jolt of energy. Tight end Adam Trautman nodded in approval and said, “Hell yeah!”
“I’m out there, but it still kind of caught me off-guard,” Sutton said. “I knew what the first play was. We went over the openers the night before the game, so I knew what the first play was going to be. So when (Payton) decided to take the ball, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s tryin’ to set the tempo.'”
The first play was a 22-yard completion from rookie quarterback Bo Nix to Sutton, who adjusted near the sideline against one-on-one coverage to make the back-shoulder grab. Five plays later, Nix was running into open space on the right side for a 3-yard touchdown. The Broncos threw plenty of punches in a 26-7 rout of the Buccaneers, but it was the haymaker they threw in the game’s opening moments that lingered.

Nix, who was a perfect 4-of-4 for 70 yards on the opening series, settled in for a steady performance that stood in stark contrast to his play during Denver’s 0-2 start to the season. The quick strike allowed Denver’s defense to play with a lead. The unit wore it well, sacking Baker Mayfield seven times (Denver’s most in a game since 2019), forcing two turnovers and snuffing out both of the Buccaneers’ fourth-down attempts.
“That set the tempo, set the tone for the game,” Nix said of the opening drive, which also featured a 31-yard completion to Josh Reynolds on a pass concept that left the receiver wide open up the sideline.
Nix finished the game 25-of-36 for 216 yards. He showed a good feel for when — and how — to leave the pocket, rushing for 47 yards and the touchdown on nine carries while avoiding any sacks. Most importantly, Nix didn’t turn the ball over after throwing a combined four interceptions in Denver’s first two games. Nix wasn’t electric — he averaged only 4.6 yards per attempt after the first drive — but he made the timely plays that allowed the Broncos to sustain drives for the first time this season.
“That’s why we were successful because we could actually get to the stuff that we had been game-planning all week,” Trautman told The Athletic in a jubilant visitors locker room after the game. “As opposed to guessing in the third quarter because we hadn’t been on the field. The game plan has been great every week, to be honest. We just haven’t been able to get there just because we haven’t been able to stay on the field. Today, we were able to stay on the field long enough get to the stuff we wanted to. That was awesome.”

The Broncos had drives of 13 and 15 plays Sunday, both resulting in field goals. Both possessions had more plays than any possession Denver had in its first two games. As impressive as Denver’s opening salvo was against the Buccaneers, the drive that ate up nearly eight minutes of clock in the second half revealed what could be a sustainable path forward for the offense and its rookie quarterback. The Broncos marched from their 6-yard line to the Tampa Bay 15, aided by two third-down conversions.
The drive featured an inauspicious start. Nix scrambled away from pressure in the end zone to complete a
