Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Rachaad White’s fumble on the opening kickoff, which lead to a Kansas City Chiefs touchdown :46 seconds into the game, set an ominous tone for what would be tough night of football for the hometown Buccaneers. Patrick Mahomes (249 yards passing) threw three touchdowns, and the Chiefs ran all over the Buc defense for 189 yards in a 41-31 victory on Sunday night in Tampa.
The Buccaneer defense entered the game as the top ranked unit in the NFL. They certainly did not play up to that ranking, looking more like a junior varsity football team in a scrimmage versus their much more equipped varsity counterpart.
