Not many gave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a chance Monday night to be the first team to hand the mighty Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season. Not when they were without wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
The football public guessed correctly, but the shorthanded Buccaneers might have provided the blueprint for how to beat the Chiefs when it truly matters. For starters, go for two when you’re one play away from knocking off the undefeated, back-to-back champions at their house. Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles will have to live down not going for the two-point conversion near the end of regulation in the Buccaneers’ 30–24 loss to the Chiefs in overtime. Kansas City will relish its seventh comeback win after improving to 8–0.
