Chiefs vs. Buccaneers Game Info
Kansas City Chiefs (9-1, 5-0 Away) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4, 3-2 Home)

Time: 4:25 p.m. EST
Venue: Raymond James Stadium – Tampa, FL
Coverage: CBS
The Chiefs got a scare from the Raiders yet again last week. However, Patrick Mahomes led one of the easiest game-winning drives we will see all year, giving them the ninth win of the season. While Kansas City ranks first in points per game (32.1), they almost look disinterested half of the time, knowing their season doesn’t truly start until playoff time. However, it’s their defense that could lead them to an early exit. They have allowed 31 points in back-to-back weeks, letting their opponents control the clock and lead scoring drives. This is a dangerous way to play once January comes around.
Tampa Bay continues to lack the chemistry needed to be Super Bowl contenders. The offensive line keeps shuffling due to injuries up front. Last week they had a sad injury involving veteran center A.Q. Shipley, who suffered a career-ending injury. With the offensive line being inconsistent up front, the entire offense has been hit-or-miss along with it. Whether it be missed passes or dropped catches, there are many self-inflicted mistakes with this team.
The defense getting exposed also has not helped. To start the year, Tampa was among the most feared defenses. Losing Vita Vea on the defensive line hurt the run defense, then the Giants showing the league that quick passes can move the chains has caused them to struggle. While Tampa could take the deep shots away from the Chiefs on Sunday, failing to take away the underneath routes could cause them to struggle again.
