As a fan of the SF 49ers, watching Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and the rest of his team demolish the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 55 was remarkably satisfying.
It was one of the unlikeliest of outcomes given how dominant Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his offense have been over the last few seasons, although it should not have been all that surprising.
In many ways, the 2020 Bucs were very similar to the 2019 Niners, using an intimidating pass rush to rattle Mahomes into making mistakes and forcing the quarterback out of his comfort zone.
