In a closely contested game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 30-24 in overtime. Coach Todd Bowles defended his decision to kick an extra point instead of attempting a two-point conversion after a late touchdown, citing the wet field conditions and a belief in their chances in overtime. Despite a strong performance from quarterback Baker Mayfield and a touchdown from Ryan Miller, the Buccaneers have now lost three straight games, raising concerns about their season.

Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin played key roles in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Mayfield made a crucial completion to Godwin on a third-and-10 play to seal the game, while Godwin downplayed his role and praised Mayfield's throw. Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and the Bucs' defense forced three turnovers to secure the win. Mayfield had a slow start but found his rhythm in the second half, orchestrating scoring drives and making key connections with Godwin and Mike Evans. The Bucs' defense also played a crucial role, with three takeaways that kept them in the game. Overall, Mayfield's performance and the team's resilience were praised by coach Todd Bowles and the defense.
