Pittsburgh Steelers cornerbacks were laughing in the visiting team locker room at Empower Field at Mile High about the limited gameplan that the Broncos rolled out for rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Nix, who threw two interceptions in the game, seldom threw downfield, instead opting to work with the quick game and try to win that way.

After two lifeless weeks of offensive action, the Denver Broncos finally put together a complete performance in all three phases of the game to take down the previously unbeaten Bucs with a 26-7 win on the road in Week 3.
