Our staff provides their predictions and analysis for Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on a skid of sorts, now having lost two games to divisional rival the Atlanta Falcons and three of their last four. However, they will look to bounce back on the road from Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off against the Kansas City Chiefs from Arrowhead Stadium with the Bucs in a slide losing three out of their last four games. The Chiefs are the only remaining undefeated team in the league, but they haven’t quite looked like their usual selves this season, struggling on the offensive side of the ball while their defense keeps them in games.
The Bucs coming into this game severely banged up on both sides of the ball. Although Lavonte David, Antoine Winfield Jr, Bucky Irving and Ben Bredeson will play, all three were limited in practice this week. They will get the boost of a returning Tykee Smith to the lineup but will need to be efficient on third down on both sides of the ball and in the red zone while not committing mental errors.
It doesn't appear the injury bug is going away any time soon for the Buccaneers though. But at least on offense, Liam Coen has found ways to manufacture opportunities. Todd Bowles hasn't been able to do the same on the other side of the ball though, and if he can't find a way to show some sort of progress, then not only will his team get blown out in this game, but the questions about his job security will get even louder.
This week's matchup for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a bad-on-bad and good-on-good matchup, only where the Kansas City Chiefs are bad is still better than where the Bucs have been good.
