Building up to the mega clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs in the 4th week of NFL. Most of the experts have revealed their favorites. In a surprising turn of events, retired safety, Ryan Clark has picked Patrick Mahomes over Tom Brady. Highlighting the struggles of the Buccaneers’ offense to get a passing game going. The former super bowl safety picked The Kansas City Chiefs to win with a scoreline of 24-20.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be more than happy to have Mike Evans back. However, they will still be missing huge pieces in the offense. Both Chris Godwin and recent addition Julio Jones are still listed as questionable to play the game. In the previous games, the offense and Tom Brady have struggled to string a solid passing game. Scoring only a solitary passing touchdown does not look good for the team.

While Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were going through a cold streak last season. Ryan Clark came out calling the quarterback broken. As the player turned analyst was speaking on the GetUp show on ESPN, he bashed the player for not adapting to a different style of play. “He’s broken. Patrick Mahomes is broken. And he’s broken because he’s the same that he’s always been, and that’s no longer good enough”

The statement came when the Chief’s offense was struggling to get things right. As one of the most feared teams in the league, it seemed like Patrick Mahomes and company were out of ideas. Clark explained how the team need to change things and get the ball moving on foot. But the pass-heavy side was not trying to change their game.

What is surprising is that Ryan Clark picks the Chiefs to win the matchup against Tom Brady and the Bucs. While their offense still remains to be a majorly pass-dependent team. Furthermore, they have lost their biggest deep threat in Tyreek Hill this past offseason.
