Here are 10 observations from Sunday’s game:
1. Late comeback attempt comes up short on Sunday
Last week against the Carolina Panthers, the Chiefs were reliant on the defense coming up with two game-changing takeaways late to pull off the improbable 17-point fourth-quarter deficit on the way to their 20-17 victory.
They were hoping for the same thing on Sunday against the Buccaneers, but they fell short of that, as the defense was unable to stop the Bucs from converting a third-and-3 at midfield trailing 19-17 with just over two minutes remaining in the game.
On the play, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston went in the direction of the player who has been targeted more than any other in the NFL this season—receiver Mike Evans, who leads the NFL in third-down receptions, touchdown receptions (8), targets (108) and is fifth in yards receiving with 811.
