Tonight Kansas City and Tampa Bay are matching up again!
This time in Super Bowl LV in Tampa Florida!
Why?
Because Kansas City punched their ticket to Super Bowl LV with a 38 -24 win over Buffalo in Kansas City Missouri on January 24, 2021!
How?
Kansas City fell behind by two scores early but quickly overcame it with 21 unanswered points in the second quarter and never looked back. In total, Kansas City outscored Buffalo, 38-15, following the first quarter of action. “according to an article by Matt McMullen on chiefs.com”
While Tampa Bay punched their ticket to Super Bowl LV by topping Green Bay by a score of 31-26 on January 24, 2021 where Tampa Bay scored on the game's opening possession and never trailed, though the Packers did tie it at 7-7 in the second period. Brady's 15-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans converted a third-and-seven, the third third down on that march, and the Bucs finished with nine conversions in 14 attempts on the day, plus one successful fourth-down attempt. After Rodgers' 50-yard touchdown pass to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling tied the game, the Buccaneers went back on top on an incredible 20-yard touchdown run by Leonard Fournette that included multiple broken tackles and spin moves. Godwin set up that score with an act of will on a 52-yard leap-ball catch, part of his five-catch, 110-yard day. “according to an article by Scott Smith on buccaneers.com”
And an interception by CB Sean Murphy-Bunting gave the Buccaneers a chance to score again before halftime and Arians coached the situation extremely aggressively. First he went for it on fourth-and-four at the Green Bay 45 with 13 seconds to go, with Brady converting on a quick toss to Fournette, then he eschewed a quick pass and a field goal attempt to go deep to Miller. Arians initially sent out the punt team on fourth down but then called a timeout and went for the jugular.. “according to an article by Scott Smith on buccaneers.com”
Turnovers helped Tampa Bay forge their 18-point lead but three straight second-half drives ended in interceptions on Brady passes meant for Evans, forcing the Tampa Bay defense to work extra hard to hold onto the lead. Fortunately, edge rushers Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul combined for five sacks of Rodgers, matching the most times the Packers QB had been dropped all season. Barrett tied Warren Sapp's single-game postseason sack record with 3.0 of his own; Sapp's record also came at Lambeau Field against Brett Favre in the 1997 playoffs.. “according to an article by Scott Smith on buccaneers.com”
Kickoff is set for 6:30pm from Raymond James Stadium!
The game is going to be televised on CBS!
