Buccaneers put on a clinic on how to stop Mahomes

[Auggie]

Don't give him anything. Stuff the box. Pursue. Relentlessly.

It was fun to watch (if you like smothering defenses).

A close victory would have been one thing. This was a solid thumping.

Rest of the league has taken note.

Kudos to their O-line for protecting Brady so well and balancing the offense with a running game.

BTW, I don't necessarily put a lot of importance on QB ratings, but Brady's was 125.8. Mahomes' was 52.3.

1. You are correct, but....

Penalties killed KC's chances as much as Tampa's game plan.
Very undisciplined on defense.

[Auggie]

2. Valid observation, but ... 52.3

Penalties helped Tampa Bay run up the score, forcing K.C. to abandon the running game. But Mahomes was still handcuffed.

3. The KC O line

Decided not to show up. Horrible performance! Seeing Tom and Gronk play for someone else was tough but congratulations to two 🐐

6. Chiefs OL scratched at least 2 injured players . Tough to overcome. nt

4. Bucs coach Todd Bowles, the REAL MVP of the Super Bowl

Think about it, Bowles shut down Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. No offense to any of the players, but Bowles deserves a ton of credit for his game plans and coaching

7. I agree

Bowles isn't great on his own but when he is teamed up with Bruce Arians he is a great defensive coordinator.

Brady did a great job but he doesn't play defense.

5. Can't have 100 yards in penaltys...

In one half and mostly in the red zone...Hunt needs to get him an offensive line next season...and somemore

defensive guys like number 95...
