The Chiefs vs Buccaneers live stream catches both teams trying to bounce back from their first losses of the season. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs came up just short as they fell to the Colts last week, 20-17 while Tom Brady and the Bucs lost to the Packers, 14-12.
Anytime you have a QB matchup like this NFL live stream presents, offense will be a big focal point, but it will be Tampa’s defensive unit that will try to steal some of the spotlight!

The Chiefs (2-1) were really let down by their special team’s unit last week. Rookie return man Skyy Moore muffed a punt inside the Kansas City 10-yard-line that resulted in the Colts regaining possession and scoring the game’s first touchdown. Then after the Chiefs responded with a Travis Kelce touchdown reception, kicker Matt Ammendola missed the point after attempt. Ammendola would have another miscue midway through the fourth quarter when he missed a 34-yard attempt that would have given K.C. a 20-13 lead. Ammendola, who was filling in for the injured Harrison Butker, was released this week as the Chiefs signed former Jaguars’ kicker Matthew Wright.
Kelce enters week four of the season second to only the Ravens’ Mark Andrews for most receiving yards (230) and touchdowns (2) by a tight end in the NFL. One thing the Chiefs will look to carry into this matchup outside of the dynamic Mahomes-to-Kelce connection is their pass rush. Kansas City took down Matt Ryan five times last week and will hope to do the same against Tom Brady.
The Buccaneers (2-1) got some good news before the game, both Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are returning to the lineup tonight. The wide outs were out last week due to injury. Tampa will also have wide receiver Mike Evans back after the veteran served a one-game suspension last week for a week two altercation with New Orleans’ Marshon Lattimore.
While Tampa’s defense dealt with inconsistency, injury and a suspension this season, their defense has been keeping them afloat. They are ranked tops in the league for fewest points allowed (9 ppg), fourth in yards, and tied for third in sacks and turnovers. No doubt, Mahomes and company will have a tough task in trying to crack this Tampa D.
According to the Action Network (opens in new tab) the Buccaneers are 1.5-point favorite against the Chiefs.
