Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 Kansas City Chiefs 27 Sunday 29 November 2020 at Raymond James Stadium CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
The Bucs fell to their second straight loss and third in four games as they were ambushed by a Kansas City passing offense that mustered over 300 yards early in the second quarter and the highest individual receiving total ever posted against Tampa Bay. Tom Brady led a second half comeback but the Chiefs were able to run out the final four minutes of the clock with relative ease befitting the position of defending Super Bowl champions.
