Tampa Bay Buccaneers year in review

The Bucs started well and got hotter as the season went on. They were 7-5 after 12 games. Since their Week 13 bye, they won each of their last seven games.

Brady threw 40 touchdown passes on the season for his most since 2007 with the New England Patriots.

WR Mike Evans was his favorite target, catching 70 passes for 1,006 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns. RB Ronald Jones II led the team with 978 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns.

Defensively, the Bucs were No. 1 in the league against the run and sixth overall. OLB Jason Pierre-Paul led the team with 9.5 sacks but four players had at least six. They picked off 15 passes as a defense, led by CB Carlton Davis’ four.

How the Buccaneers can win Super Bowl 55

It will come down to two things. The first is the pass rush. With Chiefs LT Eric Fisher out due to an Achilles injury, Pierre-Paul will give Mahomes trouble. The Bucs will pressure him and keep the game close.

Then, in the second half, Brady will make plays like he has so many times.

If the defense forces one Kansas City turnover in the second half and Brady doesn’t turn the ball over, it will come down to the wire and the Bucs will have a game-winning drive at the end of the game.
