Buccaneers vs. Chiefs Overtime Live Game Updates
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be looking to bounce back from their recent skid and will have to do so on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs in one of the more difficult stadiums to play in around the league, Arrowhead.
The Chiefs have been largely propped up this year due to their defense keeping them in games. The offense has struggled with the likes of Pacheco and Rice out for an extended period but they have found enough ways to pull out victories for them to get to 7-0.
The Buccaneers, meanwhile, are dealing with issues of their own as their defense has been atrocious over the past few weeks and will need them to bounce back in a big way to try and pull this one out on the road. The Bucs' offense is still flying high despite the losses of wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. They will look to keep things moving on that side of the ball with limited offensive playmakers on the outside - leaning heavily on creativity, the run game, and Baker locating tight end Cade Otton.
