“[Tom Brady]’s unbelievable. He’s a great player, a Hall of Fame player. We’re lucky enough to have a chance to be in this era where we get to play him. He’s old, and it’s hard to tell he’s old, and that’s a tribute to how he takes care of himself…”
–Chiefs Head Coach Andy ReidBucs:
“[Patrick Mahomes] is a terrific player, obviously. … They’ve got their offense rolling. I feel continuity is probably the most critical aspect of consistent performance. … They’ve been tough to beat for a lot of years now.”

It’s Brady, Mahomes in another marquee QB matchup
TAMPA, Fla. — — The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t buying all the talk about Tom Brady’s struggles. They insist he’s still playing at a high level and will have to be at their best to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The reigning Super Bowl champions (9-1) visit the Bucs (7-4) on Sunday, with Patrick Mahomes facing Brady for the fourth time in his young career and Brady looking to shrug off a couple of subpar performances against playoff contenders.
“You can’t take anything away from Tom Brady. He’s still very smart, he’s still trying to throw the ball downfield, he still has the weapons. We’ll have our hands full,” Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said.
“He’s played against our system a number of times, even going back to New England,” Mathieu added. “He’s familiar with us. Now we have to get familiar with him and the weapons he has.”
Brady won two of the previous three matchups against Mahomes, including an overtime thriller in the AFC championship game two seasons ago.
The six-time Super Bowl champion played poorly in home losses to New Orleans and the Los Angeles Rams two of the past three weeks. Still, Kansas City coach Andy Reid cautioned against anyone writing off the 43-year-old quarterback.
Despite Brady’s recent struggles, particularly on deep passes, the Bucs have already matched their victory total from all of last season and remain in prime position to end a 12-year playoff drought that’s the second longest in the NFL.
“He’s unbelievable. He’s a great player, a Hall of Fame player. We’re lucky enough to have a chance to be in this era where we get to play him,” Reid said.
“He’s old, and it’s hard to tell he’s old,” Reid added. “And that’s a tribute to how he takes care of himself, and the care and living he does all the way around, from diet to workout to everything.”
The Chiefs have won five straight, the eighth consecutive year they’ve had a streak at least that long.
They avenged their lone loss last week a 35-31 victory at Las Vegas, with Mahomes throwing for 348 yards and two TDs.
Mahomes, who’s thrown for just over 312 yards per game with 14 TDs and one interception during Kansas City’s winning streak, was as surprised as anyone that Brady left the Patriots to sign with Tampa Bay in free agency last March.
“But he’s in a great spot. They’ve got a lot of weapons there,” Mahomes said, looking ahead to another head-to-head meeting.
“I don’t think it’s going to feel very much different. It’s still a very good football team that’s playing really good football and winning a lot of games,” Mahomes added. “I know it’s going to be a really big challenge for us.”
Brady threw a pair of costly interceptions and was 0 for 6 on passes traveling at least 20 yards in last week’s 27-24 loss to the Rams. He’s 0 for 19 on such throws over the past three games, which includes a 38-3 loss to the Saints.
The struggles have raised questions about whether the offense Brady is being asked to run following a historic 20-year stint with the Patriots is suited to what he does best.
Bucs coach Bruce Arians concedes the offense has been inconsistent, but attributes that to a lack of continuity caused in part by teams not having a usual offseason due to the coronavirus pandemic and injuries that have forced lineup changes and limited practice time for some players.
“He can do anything, so it’s not like he can’t do it,” Arians said, responding to critics who suggest the problem is the offensive scheme, which stresses pushing the ball downfield.
“We’ve had the guys open. We’ve just missed them,” Arians said.
“Each and every week is so different, but when they’re there, we need to hit them,” the coach added. “We can’t have them going off our fingertips, and we can’t overthrow them.”
Brady has lots of good things to say about Mahomes and the Chiefs, who lead the league in scoring at 32.1 points per game.
“He’s a terrific player, obviously. … They’ve got their offense rolling,” Brady said. “I feel continuity is probably the most critical aspect of consistent performance. … They’ve been in that system for a while. Coach Reid’s been there for a while. He’s a great coach. … They’ve been tough to beat for a lot of years now.”
WIDE RECEIVER ROOM
The Chiefs should be welcoming back wide receiver Sammy Watkins from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 5 just in time.
They lost Byron Pringle, who had been one of the bright spots in their wideout corps this season, to an ankle injury last week that landed him on injured reserve. Their only other healthy wide receivers on the 53-man roster are Tyreek Hill, Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman.
FEELING DEFENSIVE
The Chiefs have won the past two weeks despite allowing 31 points each to Carolina and Las Vegas. The Panthers threw for 331 yards while running for 104 during their game at Arrowhead Stadium before the bye week, and Derek Carr led the Raiders to 364 yards of total offense — and if not for a touchdown in the closing seconds, a win — last Sunday.
“Every football game won’t be a blowout. Every football game won’t be a dominant defensive performance,” Mathieu said, “but what our fans should see is us playing hard. Sticking together, no matter what, whether we’re up by 50 or down by 50. It’s about us staying together.”
NONSENSE?Arians rejects the notion that some of Tampa Bay’s problems on offense are related to having too many playmakers on the roster. With their only being one ball, how could Brady possibly keep Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Ronald Jones, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy happy?
“I don’t think there’s such a thing. … I don’t think you can have too many good players,” Arians said. “Looking at the team coming in here this week, I don’t think they have a problem with having too many really good players.”

Some expected Brady and Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians would unstoppable on offense. While the Tampa Bay offense has been good — sixth in the league in scoring — Brady has struggled to move the ball consistently against good teams. The Buccaneers have strong run personnel, led by third-year running back Ronald Jones. Jones is already having the best season of his young career, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Leonard Fournette has had marginal success while rotating into the offense. Both are targeted often out of the backfield — but lately, they’ve been plagued by drops. So far, rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn and former Chief LeSean McCoy haven’t been major factors. Tampa Bay’s strongest offensive group is at wide receiver. Mike Evans leads the team in yards, touchdowns and targets. The big-bodied receiver is a dangerous red zone threat and can rack up serious yards after contact. Chris Godwin — another big-bodied threat — lines up opposite Evans. Godwin has had limited stats this year — he’s played in just seven games — but is still a major focal point in the offense. He has been targeted at least six times in every game he’s played — and has at least five catches in all but one. Antonio Brown was added three weeks ago. His rapport with Brady from their time together in New England seamlessly carried over to Tampa Bay; he’s regularly connected with Brady and made an immediate impact. Before Brown arrived, Scott Miller was a big part of the rotation — and rookie Tyler Johnson showed some flashes while relieving Godwin. The Buccaneers are also loaded at tight end with Cameron Brate — and, of course, Rob Gronkowski, who has brought his years-long chemistry with Brady to Tampa Bay. Now second on the team in targets, he’s definitely a bit older (and less explosive) than before, averaging the lowest yards per target of his career. So as the season has progressed, Brate has slowly received more of the offensive snaps — and his timing with Brady has developed. He doesn’t receive a high volume of targets — as the second tight end, he is a vertical threat. The Buccaneers may be without some key members of their offensive line against the Chiefs. Left tackle Donovan Smith has an ankle injury. He hasn’t practiced at all this week and will be a game-time decision. Left guard Ali Marpet practiced in full all week, but has not yet cleared concussion protocol. He is questionable for the game. Center A.Q. Shipley has been ruled out with a neck injury. So Ryan Jensen — who has been starting in Malpert’s place — will likely move back to his normal center position. The good news for the Buccaneers is that right guard Alex Cappa — and rookie right tackle Tristan Wirfs — are both healthy and playing at a high level. The offensive concept: wide receiver screens against slot pressure SCREENSHOT [url]https://twitter.com/barleyhop/status/1332354273208913928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1332354273208913928%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2020%2F11%2F28%2F21722698%2Fweek-12-defensive-preview-against-the-buccaneers-execution-will-be-the-key[/url] This week’s concept is not a difficult one — but it is one that could prove deadly against a Steve Spagnuolo defense that blitzes aggressively. The Buccaneers do attack downfield regularly enough to keep defenses honest, but they will also lean on their screen game to beat the blitz. One of their go-to calls is a wide receiver screen behind the blocks of their big-bodied receivers. These can take the form of a bubble screen attacking the sideline or a tunnel screen targeting the middle of the field. It’s a good way to get some yards against rapid pressure — and it also protects Brady. This is a common tactic against a blitz — so it’s nothing revolutionary from the Buccaneers — but could be a potentially lethal call against a defense (like the Chiefs) that tackles poorly. Tampa Bay’s receivers are all capable of avoiding (or breaking) tackles even against teams that wrap up well — let alone ones that don’t. When run against a Spagnuolo blitz that removes another player capable of rallying to the ball, these screens could turn out to be explosive plays that help keep the Buccaneers in a shootout. The bottom line So far this year. the Kansas City defense has struggled against power-run teams with quick passing games. While Arians prefers to get vertical in the passing game, he’s also not afraid to take the short rhythm passes that have been open in recent Chiefs games. If he and Brady opt to take the underneath passes, the Chiefs defense will be tasked with driving on the catch point against strong receivers who can break tackles. Against the Chiefs, that has been a recipe for success — and has been a significant factor in some of Kansas City’s closest games of the year. Arians’ play-action passing game is also very dangerous — especially with Brown now more involved. The Chiefs have played a few more single-high safety coverages against power-run teams — and we’ve seen them struggle to keep a lid on some downfield passes. With safety Juan Thornhill now in a rotational role, this could become a larger problem. If these issues crop up again on Sunday, it could be a long day for Spagnuolo and company. Luckily for the Chiefs, defenses have had success against Brady through interior pressure. Much has been made of the Chiefs’ lack of pressure in recent games, but this contest could end up being a get-right opportunity. Chris Jones could see some backup linemen on the interior — or at least hobbled starters — which could allow him to get into the backfield more often. Unlike some quarterbacks Kansas City has faced recently, Brady is not comfortable navigating laterally in the pocket — and that could turn Jones’ pressures into quick sacks. When the Buccaneers drop deep to pass, all eyes will be on Kansas City’s defensive ends. For weeks, there hasn’t been consistent pressure from the outside — but with a backup at left tackle, we could see Frank Clark win more matchups, forcing the left tackle into a case of happy feet. As the game goes along, that could lead to some hurried, inaccurate throws that might turn into interceptions. To keep up with the Chiefs’ offense, the Buccaneers will likely need to throw the ball. Even if his rushing attack is effective, Arians will not shy away from a pass-heavy script. So if the Chiefs can get early pressure on Brady, he could wilt — just as he’s done in some of this season’s previous games. If they can’t get this consistent pressure, the Chiefs will need to make open-field tackles with their linebackers and secondary to limit explosive plays against the Buccaneers’ quick-passing game. Even against the all-star cast found in Tampa Bay’s offense, the recipe is there for the Chiefs defense to take advantage. That will, however, require much better execution than the Chiefs have presented in their most recent games.”]Arrowhead Pride[/URL]The Arrowhead Pride Nerd Squad breaks down the Buccaneers’ offense — and a concept we might see on Sunday.
