In the second quarter, the Buccaneers scored a touchdown and cut the deficit to 10, but the Chiefs scored a Field goal to take them into the half, up 13. In the third, it was the turnover game for the Bucs that killed them. Brady threw two picks and set the Chiefs up in prime position to win. Going into the final quarter, Kansas City lead 27-10. Brady would throw two touchdowns to Mike Evans as the two connected for their 10th and 11th touchdowns of the year. However, it wasn’t enough as the Chiefs ran down the clock and won by 3. The score doesn’t show the difference of the game, as the Chiefs really could’ve won by 20. They had multiple drives where they got down to Bucs territory and even into the redzone and couldn’t convert.
The Bucs now head into their bye week, with a chance to get back on track. Meanwhile, the Chiefs head back home to face the Broncos, to try to extend their hot streak.
