FINAL: OT | Bucs 24, Chiefs 30

The Chiefs welcome the Buccaneers to Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night as they seek a franchise-record 14th consecutive win going back to last season. The 13-game streak is already the longest in the NFL since the Chiefs also won 13 in a row during the 2019 and ’20 seasons. Kansas City has won two of the past three in the seldom-played series, but the Buccaneers won the one that mattered most, beating the Chiefs in the Super Bowl in February 2021. The Buccaneers started the season by winning three of their first four games, but they have dropped three of their past four behind a defense that has struggled to stop anyone.

‘Cocktail Party’ headed to Tampa in 2027 while EverBank gets a makeover

The annual Florida-Georgia rivalry will take a break from its traditional home and be played at NFL venues while EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville is undergoing a $1.4 billion renovation. The game will relocate to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2026 and to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the following year. The game is expected to return to Jacksonville beginning in 2028 on a multiyear contract. Action Network first reported the deal, which Florida coach Billy Napier later confirmed. The Southeastern Conference rivals chose to bid out “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” instead of playing at campus sites for financial reasons; they can make more money playing in neutral-site venues.
