Tampa Bay Buccaneers started the 2022-23 season in terrific manner by registering wins against Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. However, in Week 3 – their Jumbotron gave too much away as Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers managed to emerge victorious for their first win of the season.
However ahead of Week 4, there is one particular NFL Analyst who believes that Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not going to bounce back to winning ways but are going to crush Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs as their defense is just not the same as before – to stop the likes of Tom Brady.
Bart Scott quoted on the latest episode of ESPN’s First Take, “So now they are facing for the first time since the Super Bowl but something is missing, something big is missing – Tyreek Hill and his ability to dictate terms is missing. So, now this team (Kansas City Chiefs) is much easier to handle.”
Although there are plenty of nameless receivers on Tom Brady’s sheet, yet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be aware of how they have to contain Kansas City Chiefs’ offense. Having already shown their caliber in the second half against the Packers, the Bucs will be hoping to replicate the same form, especially during the latter minutes.
Scott added, “This defense is not great; this doesn’t have the Honeybadger – big difference makers. Yes, Chris Jones is a hell of a player but Tom Brady has seen the likes of him. This is not even going to be close in my opinion. I think that this Tampa Bay defense dominates the Kansas City Chiefs.”
That being said, Tampa Bay Buccaneers are finally going to have Mike Evans back from suspension. Whereas Julio Jones and Chris Godwin could finally make their presence felt for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4? But will that be enough to stop Mahomes and his Chiefs? Remains to be seen.
