BY IRA KAUFMAN

For the second consecutive week, the Bucs hurled a complete-game victory at their loyal fans. No Mike Evans controversy this time around to mar Sunday’s major statement at Arrowhead that triggered a raucous trip home.

Let’s hope the heating system on Jason Licht’s pool is operating efficiently:

* This one was for the offensive line in general and D.D. in particular. Coming off a subpar performance against Chicago, right tackle Demar Dotson erected a 6-foot-9 brick wall in front of Jameis Winston. Justin Houston, who posted 22 sacks in 2014, was invisible all afternoon coming off the left edge on Dotson’s day of redemption. [read more]

This should be a major turn-the-corner victory for the Buccaneers franchise. It could be a game we’re talking about for ages, the day the losing was eradicated from the locker room after a four-year stench.

Against a 7-2, dominant-at-home Chiefs team, your Buccaneers were the better squad today through 35 minutes and they were the better team after 60 minutes.

What a monumental, complete-game victory. [read more]
