The Denver Broncos‘ defense dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with seven sacks and two takeaways.
Following a 26-7 victory on the road, Broncos defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers had a funny reaction to the team’s impressive sack total.
“You get a sack, you get a sack, I wonder if this how Oprah feel😂 VICTORY MONDAY!” Franklin-Myers tweeted on Sept. 23.

Denver’s defense ranks second in pass rush win rate this season (60%), according to ESPN (via Mile High Report’s Joe Mahoney). The team’s 11 sacks through three weeks are tied for fifth-most in the NFL.
Franklin-Myers has totaled seven tackles (two behind the line of scrimmage) and one sack through his first three games with the Broncos (66 snaps). JFM recorded his first sack as a Bronco against Baker Mayfield on Sunday.
JFM now has 20.5 sacks in his career. He totaled 17.5 sacks in four seasons with the New York Jets before being traded to Denver this spring. Franklin-Myers is now set to face his former team when the Broncos travel to New Jersey for Sunday’s showdown with the Jets.
