The Bucs kept the game closer than expected, but Patrick Mahomes had another field day for the Chiefs with 291 yards passing and three touchdowns. Hunt (106 rushing yards, one touchdown), Travis Kelce (14 catches for 100 yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns) also proved too much for Tampa Bay

The Chiefs’ 30-24 win over Mayfield and company moved them to 8-0 on the season. The NFL’s last remaining undefeated team just keeps on finding new ways to win, and it’s clear they remain the team to beat with the postseason slowly approaching.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t help but disrespect the Kansas City Chiefs before their “Monday Night Football” clash at Arrowhead Stadium.
Baker Mayfield and the banged-up Tampa Bay Buccaneers are visiting the defending Super Bowl champions in a pivotal Week 9 clash. Before the Super Bowl 55 rematch commenced, the Bucs decided to break one of the unwritten rules of the NFL.
Several folks in attendance shared photos of the Buccaneers having a pre-game huddle at midfield, and right on top of the Chiefs’ logo. According to those at Arrowhead, this led to boos from the fans:

With all due respect to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Chiefs are the last team you should do that to. Remember when the Las Vegas Raiders taunted Patrick Mahomes with a Kermit the Frog puppet in the offseason? Patrick Mahomes promised it would be “handled” accordingly, and the Chiefs blew out the Raiders last week.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Shouldn’t Have Done That
We’ll wait and see how the game plays out, but the Bucs should know better than anybody else that you just don’t do that to an opponent, especially the league’s best team.
