Well the heavily hyped Tom Brady vs. Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl matchup was a dud, but there is no denying that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put on an all-time great defensive performance just as they did the last time they won the Lombardi Trophy.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ attempt to repeat as champions fell flat at Raymond James Stadium. In the worst loss of the Mahomes era, Kansas City was held out of the end zone and the Buccaneers coasted to a 31-9 win that underwhelmed in terms of entertainment but no doubt stunned many who couldn’t believe this Chiefs juggernaut could be held down so emphatically.
