Did you not see the Bucs defense run Mahomes all over the field? Yes they were missing two tackles, but the defense still has to make plays, it's not like the Chiefs signed some guy off their couch to play. Chiefs converted nearly 50% of their 3rd downs during the regular season, only 23% in the SB. I guess the Chiefs' receivers all fooled us all season, they really can't catch the football?
It's not the same every time, sometimes offense does win SBs. But defense does as well...
Tend to agree.
Put it this way, how would our defense have done against Mahomes? Probably much worse. Much, much worse.
Not that I buy into this notion that defense wins championships. But this talk about how basically defenses doesn't really matter as long as your offense is really good is a bit of an exaggeration IMO.
