Chiefs edge out Buccaneers in overtime thriller



The Kansas City Chiefs improved to 8-0 after a hard-fought 30-24 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night. The two-time defending champs had to rally after a concerning injury scare to quarterback Patrick Mahomes before clinching the game-winning touchdown on their first overtime drive.


With just under 30 seconds left, the Bucs tied the game with a touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield. ESPN's Troy Aikman suggested that Tampa Bay should have gone for a two-point conversion to secure the win rather than relying on overtime."But when you’re on the road against the defending world champs and you’ve got them on the ropes and you got a chance to win a game on one play, I think you’ve got to do that." Aikman stated, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment against the reigning champions. (via: SI)


Bucs fans likely wish for a do-over, as they never had a chance to possess the ball in overtime after the Chiefs won the coin toss. Bucs coach Todd Bowles explained his strategy:

"We wanted to get to overtime," he said. "With the wet conditions on the field we felt we needed to get to overtime. We had our shots, we lost the game."


The Chiefs will look to maintain their perfect record this Sunday when they host the 5-4 Denver Broncos.

In a game that showcased their resilience and determination, the Chiefs continue to prove why they remain a dominant force in the NFL, setting the stage for an exciting matchup against the Broncos next week.
