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.

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.

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.
