Follow the Buccaneers v. Chiefs, from 7:30 p.m., on RDS and at RDS.ca
The reigning Super Bowl champions have yet to lose this season and will put their perfect record on the line against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to close out the 9e week of activities in the NFL.
The Kansas City Chiefs (7-0) defense will be tested against the Buccaneers (4-4) offense, which ranks 4e ranks in the NFL in points scored and total yards, as well as 1st overallis rank for passing yards.
You have to wonder how long the Bucs offense can continue to produce at this rate in the absence of the team’s two star receivers, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who leads the league in both touchdown passes (21) and interceptions (9), has kept the Buccaneers in contention in most games this season as the defense struggles badly. ranking in the bottom third of the NFL in most statistical categories.
Faced with this porous defense, Patrick Mahomes could have an evening that lives up to his standards. Despite the Chiefs’ perfect record, Mahomes is off to a very modest start to the season statistically with a pass completion percentage of 68.1% and only eight touchdown passes. The quarterback is tied with Mayfield with nine interceptions.
After going 3-1 to start the season, the Bucs have lost three of their last four games and a victory at Arrowhead would certainly restart their season, but nothing seems to point in their favor against the power of KC.
