The Bucs’ Super Bowl LV win wasn’t just a championship—it was a full-blown statement. Brady pulled up to Tampa, flipped the script, and made history while the Chiefs’ offense crumbled under the lights. And let’s not forget the iconic boat parade, where TB12 was out there tossing the Lombardi like it was a casual Sunday pass.

Fast forward five years, and while the NFL has moved on, that win still hits differently for some, especially Baker Mayfield’s wideout, Mike Evans. Picture this: you wake up in the morning after a heavenly dream of winning a Super Bowl alongside Tom Brady. That’s exactly what happened with Evans, except it wasn’t a dream for the wideout.

On Thursday, the WR took to his official IG handle and shared a picture with Brady from his Super Bowl-winning night, writing, “This shit really happened. Feels like a dream sometimes lol.” But nope, it wasn’t a dream but a reality that neither the veteran wideout nor the Bucs’ fans will forget for years to come.

Speaking of the WR, Evans’ 2020 season was anything but smooth. The guy had his fair share of injuries before kicking off his seventh season, but did that slow him down? Absolutely not. He still racked up his seventh straight 1,000-yard season (just barely, with 1,006 yards) and a ridiculous 16 touchdowns.

Yeah, he wasn’t always the star of the Super Bowl night, but let’s not forget the moment when Brady hit him with a deep ball for a 31-yard gain, drawing a crucial penalty that set the Bucs up in prime scoring position.

And how can we ignore the Brady-Gronk connection—because those two turned back the clock in the biggest way possible? First, Brady found Gronk for an 8-yard TD to put the Bucs on the board, and before KC could even process it, boom—another one, this time a 17-yarder. The duo cooked the Chiefs just like Walter White and Jesse Pinkman cooked meth—methodical, precise, and leaving nothing but wreckage behind. And their defense?

Let’s just say, the squad of Shaquil Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Ndamukong Suh—was constantly on Patrick Mahomes‘ face. The guy was literally running for his life, scrambling a record-breaking 497 yards behind the line of scrimmage just to avoid sacks. Long story short: it was nothing but a horrible nightmare for Mahomes and Chiefs that they surely want to forget. After all, the Bucs’ defense thrashed the high-flying offense of the Chiefs in an unthinkable way.

Super Bowl LV: Dream for Brady and Evans and nightmare for the Chiefs

In the last few years, the Chiefs surely won three Super Bowl titles. But let’s be real—that 31-9 loss against the Buccaneers was the night that Mahomes and the Chiefs would rather forget. Picture this: the Chiefs secured a Super Bowl spot with a tremendous offense that basically put some video-game-like numbers. KC went 14-2, finishing their regular season ranking No. 1 in total offense (6,653 yards) and No. 1 in passing yards (4,865 yards).

And let’s not forget Mahomes’ wizardry. The guy threw for 38 TDs and just 6 picks, casually making no-look and sidearm passes like it was backyard football. And Travis Kelce? Another weapon in the Chiefs’ arsenal as he broke the single-season record for TE receiving yards (1,416). But when they came face-to-face with TB12 and the Bucs’ defense? Grounded.

The KC literally failed to score a single TD—first time in Mahomes’ career. It was like watching Superman grapple with kryptonite; the invincible suddenly seemed all too human. The QB was left scrambling for his life, reminiscent of a cat on a hot tin roof, trying to make plays that just weren’t there.

And we’re not done yet, because how could we? Let’s be real—amidst their grounded offense and a defense that looked like a crumbling fortress, the penalties were the Chiefs’ Achilles’ heel. 11 of them, to be exact, for 120 yards. Mike Evans might be giving a nod of approval right about now. The reason? Simple: the guy drew four penalties. And just like that, the Chiefs ended their 31-9 nightmare against the Bucs.

No wonder that even after five years, that Super Bowl win feels like a dream to Mike Evans.
