Defense
The team with the better defense will likely come out on top, especially when you consider all the offensive fire power in this matchup. The Buccaneers have one of the best defenses in the NFL and an extra week to rest up could play a huge role in deciding the outcome of the game.
The Buccaneers are known for being dominant all over the defense, but the Chiefs are very good in their own right.
The Buccaneers are lead by linebacker Devin White while the Chiefs’ leadership comes from their safety Tyrann Mathieu. Coaching will play a big role, but the players on the defense will have to shut down any looks they see.
Although it’s a cliché saying, defense wins championships and that couldn’t be more true this season. The better defense will help their team win on Sunday, which is why a lot of people believe the Buccaneers could upset the Chiefs.
