Tom Brady is retired. Gronk has done it too. Devin White was traded. Carlton Davis is now a Detroit Lion. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are just a couple of aging and ailing receivers these days.

The NFL changes course almost every year, so it’s no surprise that the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t what they once were. However, something about that pewter and scarlet still doesn’t sit right with my soul. The most disturbing part is that #12 will never use it again.

The Chiefs have already matched 2003 and 2013 being the last remaining undefeated teambut they still have a long season to motivate themselves. Patrick Mahomes, along with his coach Bobby Stroupe, has become one of the greatest revenge artists in NFL history. He “burrow“The comments were never taken lightly. The Chiefs tried again for their winning game against the 49ers. The Raiders will probably regret their The nonsense of Kermit the Frog after Sunday afternoon.

There is only one ghost to chase for Mahomes and this is the only conduit for his targeted football rage. Tom Brady isn’t back, but Patrick Mahomes isn’t gone yet and he can destroy the team dressed like Tom the last time we saw him play

The Kansas City Chiefs are right behind the Patriots in explosive play percentage at 7.9%, according to Field Vision Sports. The Bucs went to work early against the Ravens in Week 7 with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin making one big play after another in the first quarter, but their injuries changed the tone of the game for Baker Mayfield. The Falcons didn’t have to worry about either, so the Chiefs probably won’t either.

Tampa currently ranks fourth in points per game, but the best defense they’ve beaten is Detroit’s, and a healthy Aidan Hutchinson feasted on a bevy of sacks. The Bucs also rank fourth in passing yards and eighth in rushing yards, which is bolstered by being a top team in EPA, a measure of a team’s performance compared to expectations. The Chiefs’ defense has already dealt with potent offenses like Cincinnati and Baltimore, so Tampa offers a familiar challenge.

Similar to what we’ve seen from Brian Flores in recent weeks, a defense that blitzes constantly can be susceptible, as is Todd Bowles’. They give up points, passing yards, and rushing yards at a rate that would surprise anyone with so much talent on the team. Part of their defensive inefficiency has to do with Super Bowl LV. Do you remember how young that high school was? Everyone wanted to get paid.

Kirk Cousins ​​threw three touchdowns in the first half against the Bucs in Week 8. Just a few weeks ago, we all remember him unleashing 509 yards through the air in a primetime game (good job, Kirk) against this same defense of the Bucs. Patrick Mahomes gets a chance to turn it on for the first time as he shines his new target DeAndre Hopkins.

All in all, the Bucs present a challenge to the Chiefs when it comes to the entertainment factor. The Bucs have won games by having more horses than other teams. His horses have a strained hamstring and a broken ankle, so a single mule should be able to do the job for Kansas City. I didn’t mean to be rude to Travis Kelce by calling him a mule, but if the shoe fits…
