For a bit, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked like one of the NFL’s best teams. At least a contender in the unpredictable NFC.
The past few weeks haven’t been so kind. Tom Brady has struggled, as should be expected from any 43-year-old quarterback. The defense, which looked like a top-10 unit earlier in the season, was torched by Tyreek Hill and the Kansas City Chiefs offense as a whole. The Chiefs beat the Buccaneers 27-24.
The Buccaneers did a good job keeping it a game and were close at the end, but it was just another loss for the Bucs, who don’t look like a big factor in the championship race anymore.
