The Denver Broncos defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-7 on the road on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the upset win on Twitter/X.
This looks like an entirely different team top to bottom.

Surtain-Moss-MacMillan is shaping up to be one of the better CB trios in the league.

I love the offensive procedures by Coach Peyton!

NGL I vastly underestimated Vance Joseph.
What he's doing with this Broncos defense is commendable.

Hey, @broncos fans, we have a quarterback. This is what we needed to see. This is one of those moments. The glimpse. pic.twitter.com/ix6vuShpay

Bo Nix is looking exactly like what Sean Payton promised #BroncosCountry
Sean Payton is looking like the Play-Caller his reputation would suggest.
Bo & Sean are in their Bag!

Defense balled out

#Broncos get their first win of the season in dominant fashion, 26-7 over the Bucs in Tampa.
Bo Nix played his best game so far. Denver defense had 7 sacks and allowed just 223 yards.

What a dominating win for the Broncos. Total team effort
Sean Payton put Bo Nix in position to succeed all game. Guys rallied around him 💪
Defense was lights out. Six different players had a sack. Two takeaways. They were flying around. Baker Mayfield looked miserable

YESSIR!! Great team effort. Got the W!

Game, set, match! Congratulations @Broncos on the first win of the season! #BroncosCountry

This is the win a young, scrappy football team needs. Great steady play on O. They played out of their minds on defense with seven sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery. That’s how you affect a football game— best TEAM game since SP arrived. Play calling was great.…

Just like everyone predicted.
Also, the Broncos have never had a losing season when winning a game in Tampa:
1981: 10-6
2004: 10-6
2016: 9-7
2024: TBD— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 22, 2024
Up next for Denver is a road game against the New York Jets in Week 4.
