When it comes to statement wins, this will rank up there with the best. The Bucs went into Arrowhead Stadium where the Chiefs had a 10-game win streak going and came away with a great victory on the back of impressive offense and big defensive stops when it was really needed. Four Roberto Aguayo fieldgoals had the Bucs ahead until Chris Conte stopped a KC drive with an endzone interception and his 53-yard return set up Alan Cross’ first NFL touchdown. The Chiefs scored late but the Bucs gained a key first down and then ran the clock down far enough to secure the victory to take them back to .500 on the season at 5-5.
