They also lost rookie Jalen McMillan to a hamstring injury before the game.Here's how the game panned out:Buccaneers-Chiefs box scoreTeams1Q2Q3Q4QOvertimeTotalKansas City Chiefs37014630Tampa Bay Buccaneers07107024Kansas City Chiefs player statsPassingPlayerCompletions/AttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsRatingPatrick Mahomes34/4429130116.8Rushing and receivingPlayerCarriesRushing YardsRushing TouchdownsReceptionsYardsTouchdownsKareem Hunt2710611110Samaje Perine11004251Patrick Mahomes290000Carson Steele390000Xavier Worthy2-100000DeAndre Hopkins0008862Travis Kelce000141000Justin Watson0003430Mecole Hardman0003170Peyton Hendershot000190DefensePlayerTotal tacklesSolo tacklesSacksTackles for LossDrue Tranquill730.50Bryan Cook6400Christian Roland-Wallace6400George Karlaftis4311Justin Reid4301Joshua Williams4300Felix Anudike-Uzomah420.50Nick Bolton3100Chris Jones2200Joshua Uche2200Jaden Hicks2201Tershawn Wharton2100Trent McDuffie2100Leo Chenal2100Samaje Perine1100Jack Cochrane1100Chamarri Conner1100Malik Herring1000KickingPlayerField GoalsExtra pointsHarrison Butker1/13/3PuntingPlayerPuntsYardsInside 20LongestMatt Araiza4171149Tampa Bay Buccaneers player statsPassingPlayerCompletions/AttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsRatingBaker Mayfield23/3120030112.3Rushing and receivingPlayerCarriesRushing YardsRushing TouchdownsReceptionsYardsTouchdownsSterling Shepard22104480Bucky Irving72403100Baker Mayfield4200000Rachaad White31913160Cade Otton0008771Sean Tucker3110160Trey Palmer0002330Rakim Jarrett000190Ryan Miller000111DefensePlayerTotal tacklesSolo tacklesSacksTackles for LossAntoine Winfield Jr.13500Tykee Smith9800Vita Vea9722Jordan Whitehead9500K.J.

That allowed them to enter field goal range quickly, with Harrison Butker converting the 40-yard attempt.After that, however, the Buccaneers executed a masterful drive that lasted well into the second quarter and concluded with Kansas City native Rachaad White sprinting his way into the endzone for six:The lead was not to last, however, as DeAndre Hopkins threaded the edge of the endzone for his first touchdown as a Chief:The Buccaneers were forced to punt on their next drive. A forced fumble on Travis Kelce and subsequent recovery by Josh Hayes within the final minute of the first half also went for naught.The Buccaneers began the second half strongly. Aided by a horse collar tackle penalty on Joshua Williams, they drove into their opponents’ territory and retook the lead via a touchdown pass to Cade Otton:The Chiefs were forced to punt before allowing their opponents to go deep again and hit a field goal despite multiple penalties.The game went level for the first time on the subsequent drive, as Patrick Mahomes found Samaje Perine for a touchdown. Initially, it looked to have come at a very great cost, as he landed awkwardly on his left foot during the throw.However, he returned after a Buccaneers punt to orchestrate a drive that ended in another Hopkins touchdown. The Buccaneers finally had a clean fifth drive, tying the game via a touchdown to Ryan Miller. They then forced a punt to end regulation.To begin overtime, the Chiefs elected to receive. The decision paid off, as they marched down the length of the field and won the game via a powerful Kareem Hunt charge into the endzone.
