Yesterday saw Super Bowl LV take place at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs played for the Lombardi Trophy.
And history was made in many ways.
The Bucs are the only team to have hosted the Super Bowl they’re playing in, and they beat the Chiefs making it a 7th Super Bowl win for QB Tom Brady at a score of 31-9.
The game started with the Chiefs winning the coin toss, but they chose to defer until the second half. In the first quarter, both Mahomes and Brady got sacked, both teams were given a penalty - Chiefs for holding and Bucs for a false start - but the quarter ended with a score of 7-3 after Gronkowski scored a touchdown with less than a minute to go, making it his 13th touchdown pass in the Super Bowl from Brady.
With the Bucs leading in the second quarter, the Chiefs had 6 penalties but the Bucs declined the offside penalty making way for Gronkowski to score another touchdown, closely followed by Antonio Brown also scoring a touchdown, leaving the Bucs in the lead at half-time with 21 points to 6, after another field goal by the Chiefs.
The Weeknd took control of the half-time show, singing to the crowds some of his most famous hit songs like Earned It and Can’t Feel My Face, which reintroduced us to the character he has been creating with bandages over dancers faces.
With the attention going back to the game, the third quarter began with a field goal from Butker for the Chiefs, followed by Fournette scoring a 27 yard touchdown 7 minutes in for the Bucs, bringing the score to 28-9. A couple of flags were thrown down for both teams and Mahomes was again sacked but the quarter ended with a score of 31-9 as a 52 yard field goal was successful for the Bucs.
Going into the fourth quarter, the Bucs were leading. The final quarter didn’t see any more points scored, and so the end of Super Bowl LV saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers victorious winning their second Super Bowl and making history as being the only team to win the biggest game of the year at their own stadium.
Congratulations to all players of the Bucs, and especially to Tom Brady for playing his 10th Super Bowl, winning his 7th and being named the MVP!
Until next time...
