Mayfield-led Buccaneers sputter offensively in 26-7 loss to previously winless Broncos
Todd Bowles rejected the notion that a 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos was a wakeup call for his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “You don't use that as an excuse. We're already awoke. They just beat us,” the coach said after Sunday's loss spoiled the team's bid to begin a season with three consecutive wins for the first time since 2005.
