Final score: Chiefs sink Buccaneers 30-24 in overtime on ‘Monday Night Football’

The Kansas City Chiefs advanced their record to 8-0 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football” in Week 9, winning the Super Bowl LV rematch 30-24 in overtime.

The Chiefs trailed Tampa Bay 10-17 heading into the fourth quarter but mounted a late-game comeback led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes to remain undefeated heading into Week 10.

Mahomes threw for 291 yards, tossed three touchdown passes, and completed 34 of his 44 attempts. Star tight end Travis Kelce led Kansas City in receiving yards, but it was newly-acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins who stole the show with two touchdown catches.

For their part, Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers put up a great fight, but couldn’t quite break through to spoil the Chiefs’ perfect season.

 

Defensively, Kansas City was led by linebacker Drue Tranquill, who combined for seven tackles and was credited with half a sack.

The Chiefs are set to face the Denver Broncos in Week 10 with a chance to advance to 9-0.
