Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs suffered a shocking loss at the hands of Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV on Sunday night. The loss may not have hurt as much but it was the manner in which the defending champions went down that let left fans and critics in cahoots.
The Buccaneers won by a mammoth 9-31 scoreline. Not only that, this was the first game for the Chiefs that Patrick Mahomes failed to get a single touchdown since being named a starter in 2018. The former Texas A&M man finished the game with 26 completions out of 49 attempted passes at the Raymond James Stadium.
He threw for 270 yards with 2 interceptions. While Mahomes had an off day, the rest of the Chiefs’ offense was not too far behind. The likes of Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, and Tyreek Hill were not far behind.
