Denver Broncos: First Half Reactions vs. Bucs
By Tylor Walden
The Denver Broncos lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-7 going into the first half. I take a look at the game through the first 30 minutes of the game.
The Denver Broncos have done a solid job so far, keeping the Buccaneers down to only seven points so far as the Broncos lead the Bucs 17-7 going into the half.
The biggest story coming out of the first half was Trevor Siemian was carted off to the locker room with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Paxton Lynch has come into the game and performed really well so far.
His first drive led to three points for the Broncos offense. Hopefully Trevor Siemian recovers.
Here are some big key moments from the game other than the Trevor Siemian injury.
Aqib Talib picks off Winston twice, leading to 14 points

Aqib Talib made his first return to Tampa Bay with a bang. He intercepted two Jameis Winston passes. This led to 14 points for the Denver Broncos offense.
Aqib Talib was perhaps the best player on the defensive side of the ball in the first half. My mistake, he is the best defensive player.
If it was not for his interceptions, the Broncos most likely would be trailing 7-3 at this point. The offense has not looked solid with a longer field than what the defense has provided with a short field.
With Trevor Siemian injured, the Broncos defense might be relied upon to secure this victory.
Other than the injury, nothing has really stood out to me. We will wish Trevor Siemian well in his recovery. He was doing well in the first three games. Let us hope that his shoulder injury is not serious.
The Denver Broncos will receive to start the second half. If Trevor does not return to the game, we will get to see what Paxton Lynch can do. Hopefully, he can do enough to lead the team to victory.
Go Broncos!
