As things stand, the Andy Reid-led Kansas City Chiefs remain on track to defend their Super Bowl title in 2020. The defending champions established their dominance once again with a convincing win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Thanksgiving Weekend.

Two standout performers for Kansas City were quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

The Chiefs made their way to a comfortable 24-27 win over the Buccaneers at the Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. Mahomes went 37 of 49, throwing for 460+ yards with 3 passing touchdowns to his name.
