Both of these teams have proven that going all-in and possibly selling out is the way to win in the current version of the NFL. It has been far from smooth sailing for the Buccaneers, however, as their general inconsistency continues to be a bit alarming. Whether it comes from drops, turnovers or penalties, they have been far from perfect, and many have said a perfect game will be needed to prevent the Chiefs from repeating as Super Bowl champions.
Still, Tampa Bay is surprisingly the healthier team in this contest. It appears everyone will be back, including wide receiver Antonio Brown and safety Antoine Winfield Jr., both of whom will be vital to winning this Super Bowl. While Brown has not played a massive role in this offense, he has been Tom Brady’s go-to weapon in crucial situations several times. On the other side, Winfield Jr. has been vocal pre-snap, and he already looks like a veteran roaming the secondary.

However, it may be the Tampa Bay pass rushers who play the largest roles, with Kansas City starting two backup offensive tackles in the Super Bowl. The Bucs’ front four generates pressure on their own, Patrick Mahomes will need to get the ball out in a hurry, but screens also will not work, as Tampa Bay doesn’t need to send extra pressure after the quarterback, leaving linebackers free to roam in coverage. Still, the Chiefs are the Chiefs, and they seem to have the ability to flip the switch whenever they desire. A good example that seems relevant is when Tyreek Hill had seven catches for 203 yards and two touchdowns in just the first quarter in the Chiefs’ matchup against Tampa Bay earlier this season.
This has the makings to be one of the most exciting Super Bowls yet.
