With 0:09 seconds left in the second quarter, Mahomes once again connected with wide receiver DeAndrea Hopkins, who landed with the Chiefs via trade just four days before the AFC West showdown. With that 16-yard catch, Mahomes became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to surpass 30,000 passing yards.

Standing a few hundred yards from his greatest career achievement, Bucs head coach and former defensive coordinator Todd Bowles had an intentional memory lapse. He said he couldn’t recall the brilliant game plan from Super Bowl 55 that he used to keep Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs from scoring a touchdown in a 31-9 win that gave the Bucs their second Lombardi Trophy.
