A return to the scene of the crime: Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Week 4 recap | Bucs Nation (Tampa Bay Buccaneers SB Nation site)<\/p>\n
\nWho we thought would do well and didn’t:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
Buccaneers defense- <\/strong><\/em>The Buccaneers defense was\u2026. Not great. Tampa wasn’t able to stop Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, or any Chiefs running back. The Buccaneers defense existed on field, solely, to be a part of a Patrick Mahomes trick shot highlight film. Tampa’s defense had been the bright spot of the team’s season through the first three games. Unfortunately, for the Bucs tonight was game four. Game four featured Tampa Bay’s defense being consistently posterized so painfully that one can only hope this is a game that will sting their pride and potentially motivate them moving forward, very similarly to how their regular season loss to Kansas City in the 2020 season did.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

NFL Week 4 takeaways: Lessons, big questions for every game | ESPN<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIs there reason to worry about the defense after Week 4 performance?<\/strong> There isn’t. The Chiefs played complementary football, allowing just two plays of more than 20 yards. They made the Bucs go on long, time-consuming drives to get their points. The Chiefs made the game’s biggest play on defense on L’Jarius Sneed’s sack and strip of Tom Brady in the second quarter, a play that gave Mahomes and the offense good field position to score the touchdown that gave them a 28-10 lead. \u2014 Adam Teicher<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Passes Rob Gronkowski for 5th-Most Receiving Yards by TE | Bleach Report<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nKansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is well on his way to becoming one of the best to ever play the position, and he continued his ascent up the record books on Sunday.<\/p>\n
After making a catch in the second quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kelce moved past Rob Gronkowski for the fifth-most career receiving yards by a tight end:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nKelce set the mark for most single-season receiving yards by a tight end with 1,416 in 2020. His six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons are also the most by a player at his position.<\/p>\n
At 32 years old, Kelce’s best days could still be ahead of him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady after appearing to injure throwing arm in Sunday’s loss: ‘It’ll be all right. It’s football.’ | NFL.com<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBrady was absent any details on the status of his shoulder\/throwing arm, but said he was fine following the Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ll be all right,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s football\u201d<\/p>\n
Late in the second quarter, Brady was strip-sacked by L’Jarius Sneed on a safety blitz. Sneed blindsided Brady and ripped at the QB’s arm to strip the ball. On the ground, Brady immediately clutched his right arm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nA – Chiefs<\/strong><\/p>\n
When Patrick Mahomes is at the top of his game, the Chiefs are nearly impossible to beat, and Mahomes was definitely at the top of his game on Sunday night. At times, it almost looked like Mahomes was toying with the Buccaneers on a night where he threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Mahomes was nearly perfect when targeting Travis Kelce, who caught nine passes for 92 yards and a TD. The Chiefs offense also got some help from a rushing attack that doesn’t always produce. The Chiefs offense seems to be getting better every week, which should scare every other team in the NFL, <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
