WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19 Kansas City Chiefs 17
Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their second straight game, this one against a team that was highly favored to win.
Jameis Winston threw for over 300 yards while Mike Evans received for over 100 yards. The offense was efficient, especially on third down where they went 11 of 15.
The defense came up big as well, with safety Chris Conte getting an interception in the end zone, his second straight game with a pick. Rookie kicker Roberto Aguyao, who has struggled throughout the season, went 5/5 on kicks, making 4 field goals and 1 extra point.
With this win, the Bucs got back to .500, took sole possession of second place in the NFC South, and improved their road record to 4-1.
