Buccaneers 24 vs 30 Chiefs summary, stats, scores and highlights | NFL Week 9

The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up the first half of the season a perfect 8-0 but they needed overtime to top the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Mahomes made it look easy as he and Kareem Hunt got chunk after chunk, picking up first down after first down. On another third down play the Chiefs punched it into the end zone with this one yard run from Kareem Hunt who had his best night since returning to the Chiefs. He ended the night with 106 yards and this game winning TD on 27 carries as the Chiefs finished the first half of the season undefeated. 

The Bucs showed us how resilient of a team they were, going into Arrowhead shortanded, in the rain, on primetime and pushing the Chiefs to overtime. Unfortunately it won't keep from dipping them under .500. They have a huge game against the Niners next week and then head in to their BYE where they should get Mike Evans and a few other players back.

You have to tip your cap to Baker Mayfield who was desperately short handed against the two time defending champions, but went toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes on a rainy Monday Night from Arrowhead. After the Bucs lost their lead, they would fight back and tie up the game after getting the ball with just 2:17 on the clock. Mayfield was 6/8 on the drive and connected with the rookie Ryan Miller in the end zone for his only catch of the night. 

Mayfield ended the night 23/31 for 200 yards and two TD. The only thing he really did wrong was guess the coin flip wrong. That gave KC the ball first in overtime and we all know what Patrick Mahomes does in overtime.

The Chiefs defense would force the Bucs into a three and out on the next series, and Mahomes and company built up a 15 play, 78 yard drive that ended with this slant pattern to Hopkins as they connected on their second TD of the night. All three of Mahomes three TDs came on 3rd down conversions as he and Hopkins put the Chiefs up by a TD with 4:21 to go. Hopkins ended the night with 86 yards and 2 TDs and would have another big catch in the OT period.

The Bucs would stretch their lead to a touchdown, and that would wake the Chiefs up as the rain started to fall at Arrowhead. Kareem Hunt carried KC down the field on the ground and that set up Mahomes' little flick pass to Samaje Perine in the end zone to tie the game up in the fourth quarter. Patrick Mahomes pulled up and had to be helped off the field after this play but after a brief moment of terror, fans saw him jogging down the sideline and he would come back on the next series.

After forcing the Kelce fumble the Bucs would get the ball out of the halftime break and Bucky Irving would set his side up with great field position after a kick return left the Bucs at midfield. Six plays later it was Baker Mayfield who found Cade Otton for the TD to take the lead. Otton had 17 catches in the previous two games, which was the most in the NFL, and on Monday night in KC, he went for 77 yards on 8 catches. 

as.com

The Chiefs had a chance to add to their lead late in the first half, but Travis Kelce had the ball jarred out of his hands and it was recovered by Hayes. That was about the only mistake of Kelce and the Chiefs night. Kelce went for 100 yards on 14 catches and would come up with a couple of big receptions down the stretch. 

as.com

Patrick Mahomes and Hopkins connected on the Chiefs opening TD of the game with this one yard pass to the back of the end zone, but those two were just getting started. This is a team that has been decimated by injuries, but once they start getting their guys back they will get even better and that's a scary thought. 

as.com

Tampa Bay came into the game missing their two best wide outs, but the Chiefs were without their top five WRs. Injury problems forced them into the trade market, and they landed their big fish in DeAndre Hopkins who had his coming out party as a Chief just a week and a half after joining KC. 

as.com

The Kansas City Chiefs are perfect at the halfway point of the season, but it hasn't been as easy as their record would suggest. Monday night was no different in Arrowhead. The Tampa Bay Bucs took them to overtime, but a game winning Kareem Hunt TD run kept the Chiefs pursuit of perfection alive. 

The Chiefs came out and scored a field goal on their second drive of the night, but it was Baker Mayfield and the Bucs who got into the end zone first thanks to hometown kid Bucky Irving getting into the end zone with a 7 yard TD run. It was a running back by committee for TB, who ended the night with 95 rushing yards, Irving was the leading rusher with 24 yards.

NFL Standings 

Taking a look at the standings in the AFC we see Chiefs at the top of the standings in the AFC with a perfect record of 8-0. The Bills and the Steelers as the next best with two losses at the halfway point, but the Ravens have fallen back as have the Houston Texans who join the Chargers with three losses. In the NFC, the Bucs have fallen out of the elite category, and now they will be focused on catching up to the Falcons at 6-3, but it won’t be easy considering they have already lost both games to Atlanta. They just need to hold on somehow until Mike Evans gets back to full fitness.

Evans returning, but not tonight 

It was only a couple of weeks ago, but for Bucs fans it must seem like ages ago. Mike Evans suited up against the Ravens nursing a hamstring injury, and ended up inuring it even more trying to make a TD grab in the game against the Ravens. He would head to the locker room in noticeable pain, and have been without him ever since. He was not put on IR, which would have held him out for at least 4 games, and give him the earliest return date as Week 13. Instead, the Bucs are hoping to get him back in Week 12 against the Giants. Before that game they have dates with the Chiefs tonight and the Niners next week.

Banged up Chiefs 

The Bucs aren’t the only ones who have had to deal with injuries. The Chiefs campaign has been plagued with injuries since early in the season. Isaiah Pacheco went down in Week 2 with a fractured fibula, and while he won’t play today, he is scheduled to return to practice in two or three weeks. That’s big news for the Chiefs who have four WRs on IR and JuJu Smith-Schuster ruled out tonight with a hamstring injury. The Chiefs did bring in Deandre Hopkins from the Titans in a mid season trade. He played the game against the Raiders, and will look to get a big more involved in the offense tonight against the Bucs.

Star watch: Chiefs 

Obviously with four WRs on the IR, and another listed as out, we can’t expect too much from Patrick Mahomes or the passing game. Sure they still have Hopkins, and Worthy and Mecole Hardman which quite honestly is a better WR corps than a lot of teams have, but tonight is going to be all about Kareem Hunt. Hunt joined the Chiefs after Pacheco went down with injury and in the four weeks he has played with the team that drafted him, he has 308 yards, and four TDs. He has yet to break a run over 13 yards, but against at Bucs defense that looked vulnerable last week, this could be Hunt’s night.

Star watch: Bucs 

With no Mike Evans or Chris Godwin, Baker Mayfield is going to need someone to step up tonight, and for the rest of the season. Last week it was Cade Otton who answered the call with 9 catches on 81 yards, but they are going to need WRs to bring it tonight. I like Rakim Jarrett to step into the spotlight and have a big game for Baker and the Bucs. The second year man out of Maryland played his first game last week against the Falcons and had 3 catches for 58 yards. If you get open, Baker is going to find you, and that’s exactly what you can expect fro Jarrett tonight.

Season recap: Chiefs 

Like we said earlier, the Chiefs are perfect but they haven’t been perfect if that makes any sense. They beat the Ravens in the season opener by a toe, then got a bit of a break in the Bengals game when a pass interference flag gave the Chiefs a chance at a game winning field goal which they converted. The next week the Falcons felt they could have had a chance to win the game had a PI flag been thrown, but none was given and the Chiefs survived another scare. They would go down to the Charges 10-0, and battle back to win that game 17-10. They finally had a comfortable win over the Saints before their BYE and then met the Niners following their week off. They beat the Niners in a Super Bowl rematch and then had the narrow win over the Raiders last week. Only two of their eight wins have come by more than 7 points or more. Tonight they will be looking to put together their best performance of the season on a potentially historic night in which they can set a franchise record for most consecutive wins (14).

Season recap: Bucs

The Bucs made it to the playoffs last year on the shoulders of Baker Mayfield, and gave their QB a long term deal to keep him around for a while. With a solid defense and weapons at the WR position the Bucs were inline to compete in the NFC South, but this team came out swinging and beat some good teams early on to send a warning shot to the rest of the conference. They beat Washington in the first game of the season, which now looks like a fantastic win, and then moved to 2-0 handing the Lions their first and only loss of the season. A terrible performance against the Denver Broncos would slip them their first loss of the season, but they would rebound against the Eagles. A division loss to the Falcons and would put them behind the 8 ball in the NFC South, and then they lost Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the defeat against the Ravens, and a second loss to the Falcons sends them into this game in a must win situation.

Last game: Chiefs 

It wasn’t exactly pretty against a team that gives Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs headaches. The offense never looked like it was clicking and surprisingly enough the defense allowed the Raiders to keep the Raiders in the game, but in the end KC was too much for their divisional opponents. Up by seven points in the in the fourth quarter, Mahomes hit Xavier Worthy with the game sealing TD with less than 5:00 on the clock.  Mahomes had to throw the ball 38 times, much more than we are used to seeing this season, and ended the night with 262 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. The Raiders would cut the lead to 7 with a late TD, but the Chiefs would recover the onside kick and kneel out the clock to stay perfect on the season.

Last game: Bucs 

It was the first game that Baker Mayfield and the Bucs had to play without their two biggest stars at WR. Despite their injury issues they hung with the Atlanta Falcons thanks to Mayfield’s 330 yards and three TDs, but the defense was the unit that didn’t come to play against the Falcons. They gave up four TD passes to Cousins, but the Bucs still had a chance to win the game after Mayfield hit Cade Otton with a TD pass halfway through the fourth quarter. Younghoe Koo would miss a field goal with 1:06 to go, and Tampa had the ball with a chance to take the lead but Mayfield’s last gasp pass from the ATL 38 fell incomplete and the Falcons dropped the Bucs to 4-4 on the season.

We are live from KC

Hello everyone and welcome to Arrowhead Stadium where the Chiefs are back home following a narrow win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs have been perfect, but haven’t been perfect through eight weeks of the season. They have done enough to play well, but injuries have made things tough for Patrick Mahomes to look like the MVP candidate QB that we are so used to seeing. Despite the injuries and the inconsistencies on the offensive end, the Chiefs are 8-0 thanks to their defense and looking to make it 9-0 tonight against a wounded Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that needs to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. They had a great start to the season and had big wins against some of the NFC’s best teams, but a fateful Monday Night not only cost them the game, but their two best WRs and the Bucs have gone spiraling since then. Tonight they look to stun the two time defending champs and take down another giant under the spotlights in KC.
