‘They Played Right into our Hands’- Devin White Fires Shots at Kansas City Chiefs

Published 02/17/2021, 11:55 AM EST

The Bruce Arians-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers made their way to a comfortable 9-31 win over defending champions Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month.

They put up a strong defensive display to completely nullify the Chiefs’ offense featuring big names like Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce. Bucs linebacker Devin White was one of the standout performers in Super Bowl LV.

Some critics and fans on social media even opined that White should win Super Bowl MVP for his display. But that honor was eventually bestowed upon veteran QB Tom Brady, who registered a 7th Championship win. Regardless, White had an outstanding game on February 7th, and here’s what he had to say to the Chiefs.

He said, “That’s another thing like that we knew going in, we knew that there was gonna be a bit cocky, which they have every right to be. They was the #1 offense in the entire National Football League.

“They did us a favor, they played right into our hands. We went like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna we’re gonna shut them down’… So at the end of the day, they shouldn’t even talk about not having their offensive tackles. When they didn’t even help them, so that’s their own fault,” White said on the show.
