The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pushed the Kansas City Chiefs to the limit but ultimately fell short against the undefeated champions. Baker Mayfield led a late touchdown drive to tie the game at 24, yet head coach Todd Bowles opted for an extra point instead of a two-point conversion, aiming for overtime.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid expressed relief at Bowles' decision. Although analytics suggested a slight edge for the two-point attempt, the Bucs' choice was influenced by confidence in their offensive play and the game's momentum. The Chiefs capitalized in overtime, securing a victory with a decisive touchdown.
