Arians: No longer In truth Excited to Face Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill

The muse of playing in the Titanic Bowl is big. Taking half in the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in the Titanic Bowl isn’t as a lot as supreme.  

“I point out, you trudge assist and as well you peek at the game and what matchups you had,” Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians urged newshounds before Titanic Bowl LV. “I’m not undoubtedly angry playing Tyreek Hill and [Travis] Kelce and [Patrick] Mahomes. That is a mettlesome effort, however our guys will doubtless be up for it.”

The Chiefs and Bucs crossed paths in Week 12, and the very most attention-grabbing compile—27-24 in desire of Kansas Metropolis—obscured how grand Tampa Bay struggled to have the Chiefs’ excessive-octane offense.

Mahomes achieved 37-of-49 for 462 yards and three touchdowns. Kelce had eight grabs for 82 yards. Hill seemingly made it his singular cause to give Carlton Davis nightmares, ending with 13 catches for 269 yards and three ratings.

Tampa Bay successfully atoned for its two traditional-season defeats to the New Orleans Saints by beating them in the divisional spherical. Shutting down an offense led by 42-one year-feeble Drew Brees isn’t pretty the identical as the take a look at the Bucs face on Feb. 7, even though.

Any coach would obviously admire to be in Arians’ sneakers dazzling now, however that doesn’t point out he isn’t going thru some stress dazzling now as he and his employees plan up a game belief.
