The Chiefs' lightning-quick high powered offense never got going as the Bucs stifled their top receiver Tyreek Hill. Mahomes, meanwhile, was forced to scramble all night as he battled a toe injury and played without two starting offensive tackles. The 25-year-old ended the game 26 for 49 passing and 270 yards with two interceptions, with several of his passes being dropped in what was the first double-digit defeat in his career. Meanwhile, Brady was brilliantly effective, 21 of 29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. Gronkowski, who made a retirement U-turn to reunite with Brady earlier this season, caught six passes for 67 yards.
