Can Mike Shanahan and the Broncos put the breaks on Tampa Bay's winning streak? (AP Images)

The Denver Broncos will be looking for answers defensively as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday as 3.5-point favorites.

After an embarrassing 33-19 road loss to the lowly Chiefs, the Broncos' defense ranks 30th in the league with 408.8 yards allowed per game, and 31st with 117 points allowed. The only thing keeping Mike Shanahan and company on top of the division is an offense that is second overall in points scored.

Tampa Bay has won three straight, all against the spread, including a 30-21 victory over Green Bay last week. The Buccaneers’ defense limited the Packers to a season-low 181 yards and forced three interceptions.

One of the keys to upsetting the Broncos will be keeping pressure on Jay Cutler, who's second in the league in completions and passing yards to go with nine touchdown passes.
