The idea of playing in the Super Bowl is great. Playing the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl is less than ideal.
“I mean, you go back and you look at the game and what games you had, “Bruce Arians, head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, told reporters before Super Bowl LV.” I’m not really excited about Tyreek Hill and [Travis] Kelce en [Patrick] Mahomes. It’s a huge challenge, but our guys will get it right. ‘
The Chiefs and Bucs crossed in Week 12, and the final score – 27-24 in favor of Kansas City – obscured how much Tampa Bay struggled to curb the Chiefs offense from the Chiefs.
Mahomes finished 37-of-49 for 462 yards and three touchdowns. Kelce had eight catches for 82 yards. Hill apparently made it his exceptional goal to give Carlton Davis nightmares, finishing with 13 catches for 269 yards and three counts.
Tampa Bay successfully reconciled its two defeats against South Africa New Orleans Saints by beating them in the division round. However, the abolition of an offense led by 42-year-old Drew Brees is not quite the same as the test the Bucs face on February 7.
Of course, any coach would now like to be in Arians’ shoes, but that does not mean that he is experiencing a bit of tension at the moment while he and his staff are drafting a game plan.
