Lots of stats going back and forth but I feel good about the game given the fact that we've got Mahomes and Reid on our side.

I mean, the Bucs knew what the Raiders were calling, so there's that.
As to that Broncos game - I will never EVER figure out how that team was essentially the best regular season offense of all time. Has a QB ever had a better season? 5500 yards and 55 TDs in 16 games?
Manning was just a goddamn monster that year and for one game that team suddenly couldn't do anything right. Literally from the first snap of the game.
So if we have a safety on our first play, you might have cause to be concerned...
