At the end of an incredible run for Tampa sports, the Bucs completed the saga with their second Super Bowl success totally man-handling the Chiefs’ high- powered offense and holding them out of the endzone throughout the game. The offense had five excellent drives and then watched the pressure get to Patrick Mahomes. The Vince Lombardi Trophy was back in Tampa Bay.
