The Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to get to 8-2 on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium.

Sunday’s matchup features the 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the 7-2 Kansas City Chiefs. But don’t let those records fool you. The Buccaneers are a young team that has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They’ve had their ups and downs this season, but when they’re hot they’re dangerous. Mike Evans is fifth in the league in receiving yards, and tied first in touchdowns. Jameis Winston started off cold throwing eight interceptions and eight touchdowns in his first four games.

Since then, Winston has gone hot throwing 11 touchdowns to only two interceptions in five games. Doug Martin the Bucs “Muscle Hamster” is starting only his fourth game of the season due to injury after going for over 1,400 yards with six touchdowns last year. So it’s fair to say the Chiefs will need to be on their toes and keep their playmakers in check if they want to talk away with a win today.

Now, onto the storylines entering the game!
