Aqib Talib was ready for his return trip to Tampa Bay, but the Bucs and Jameis Winston weren’t prepared for him.
Tampa Bay’s first-round pick in 2008 picked off Winston’s first pass of the game and victimized the second-year quarterback again a quarter later. Both interceptions came in Bucs territory and handed Denver possession at the Tampa Bay 11 and 27, respectively, and resulted in Broncos touchdowns.
Talib’s assists proved to be the difference maker in a 27-7 defeat that began getting away from Tampa Bay in the second quarter and only got worse from there. Adding to the agony for Bucs fans in attendance was a fourth-quarter weather delay that cleared out Raymond James Stadium for over an hour.
