Everyone remembers the Buccaneers’ biggest matchup against the Chiefs - a Super Bowl LV victory inside Raymond James Stadium where Kansas City never got into the end zone. The relentless pressure on Patrick Mahomes. Tom Brady connecting twice with Rob Gronkowski, once with Antonio Brown, and a breakaway run by Playoff Lenny as the Bucs cruised to victory.
That may have been the biggest game between the two, but it certainly wasn’t the only one.
This Monday marks the sixteenth meeting between these two teams all time. The Bucs lead the all-time series 8-7, but the Chiefs have won two of the last three - that Super Bowl being the one they lost. That said, the Bucs had quite a run prior to that loss to the Chiefs in the 2020 regular season.
The Bucs were riding a five game win streak spanning from 1999 to 2016 - surpassing the Chiefs’ four game win streak from 1981-1993.
The Bucs lost their first game to the Chiefs in that infamous 1976 season before winning back to back games in 1978 and 1979.
Six of the sixteen games between these two teams have taken place in Kansas City where the two teams are knotted at three wins apiece - so the Chiefs have a chance to tie the all-time series while moving about .500 at home. The last two meetings at Arrowhead were in 2008 and 2016 - both wins for the Buccaneers. Prior to those two wins, the Chiefs had won three straight in 1981, 1984, and 1986. The Bucs also lead the matchup in total points scored, outscoring the Chiefs over those fifteen games 329-310.
Something kind of wild is that of those previous fifteen meetings all time, five of them have been played in the month of November. The Bucs are 4-1 in those games. In games played in other months, the Bucs are 4-6 - so when these two teams square off after Halloween and before we turn to the final month of the year, they seem to find a way to come away with a win. Bucs fans, of course, are hoping they’re able to find a way to get it done again as this will be the first game in November the Bucs will play this season.
