The Buccaneers defense is the real MVP of Super Bowl LV
The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes figure to be the story of many Super Bowl Sundays for years to come with their prolific offense, but that was not the case to close out this season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles had different plans in their 31-9 Super Bowl LV victory.
Many of the national headlines will revolve around Tom Brady’s seventh title in 10 trips to the Super Bowl and his first with a new team, but Tampa Bay rode an elite and relentless defense to its second championship in franchise history.
Tom Brady was named Super Bowl MVP for the fifth time, but the argument can be made that the star linebacker duo of Devin White and Lavonte David were more worthy of the honor. The two combined for 18 total tackles on the night with two tackles for loss and three passes defended.
The Chiefs dreams of repeating never came to fruition. The offseason belongs to the Bucs as Super Bowl champions.
