Kansas City finished with 417 yards of total offense, including a 189-3 edge on the ground, against a defense that had allowed a league-low 27 points through three games. That was as close as the Bucs got until Leonard Fournette’s 5-yard TD reception cut Tampa Bay’s deficit to 41-31 with 3:30 remaining.īrady wouldn’t get the ball back until less than a minute was left. He had eight receptions for 103 yards.Įvans' second TD trimmed Kansas City’s lead to 28-17 at halftime.
"We haven’t played our best yet this year.”Ĭhiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed sacked Brady, forcing a fumble that Mahomes turned into Gray’s TD, with the tight end taking a direct snap from center on the 1-yard plunge that put Kansas City up 28-10.īrady threw TD passes of 13 yards and 1 yard to Mike Evans, who returned from serving a one-game suspension for his role in a on-field brawl at New Orleans two weeks ago. We gotta play a lot better to be one of the good teams,” the seven-time Super Bowl winner added.
Too many missed opportunities on third downs, turnovers. We didn’t help (the defense) much, either," Brady said. The Chiefs also got into the end zone on three of their next four possessions, with Mahomes repeatedly shredding the Tampa Bay defense with pinpoint passes and Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco taking turns running the ball effectively. The Bucs, however, played from behind the whole night after rookie Rachaad White fumbled the opening kickoff and Mahomes threw his TD pass to Kelce two plays later. Unfortunately we're on the wrong end of it tonight,” said Brady, who's 1-2 against the Chiefs quarterback since joining the Bucs in 2020 after two decades with the New England Patriots.īrady completed 39 of 52 passes for 385 yards and three TDs without an interception for Tampa Bay (2-2). “I realized I wasn’t going to make it and I saw Clyde, so I kind of flicked it up to him.”īrady noted it's fun watching Mahomes, unless he's on the opposing sideline. I was gonna run for it, but they kind of flew around me," Mahomes said. “I was able to use my speed, my little bit of speed, to get around the edge there. The short pass to Edwards-Helaire was Mahomes at his improvisational best: He escaped two defenders, did a 360-degree spin move and flipped the ball over a crowd to the running back in the back of the end zone. That Super Bowl will always leave a bad taste for me.” It’s a regular-season game, which is important. “When I came into the stadium I realized that I hadn’t been here and the bad taste I had last time came into effect," Mahomes said.
