Twice the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been to the Super Bowl and neither time did they fail to come away with the Lombardi Trophy. Even better, neither of the games were particularly close although the last one was stressful thanks to the prowess of the quarterback the Bucs were up against.

Both the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs were embarrassed in the Super Bowl but Tampa Bay defenses, the latter of which is by far one of the most impressive feats in recent football history. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were at the peak of their power in Super Bowl 55 yet managed only 9 points against the Buccaneers as the defense swarmed one of the best offenses we’ve ever seen.

It was a stunning defeat to those who had at that point already grown accustomed to Patrick Mahomes figuring out a way to mount a comeback and make winning an evetiability for the Chiefs. That’s why even with the score 31-9 in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the lead didn’t feel safe.

As it turns out, it was and the one blemish on the Chiefs’ championship resume is something that fans in Kansas City are unsuccessfully trying to forget.

Chiefs were painfully reminded about Super Bowl 55 thanks to a Twitter Community Note

After the Chiefs came back to beat the Carolina Panthers in Week 12, a stats account on social media bragged about how Patrick Mahomes is now 9-0 against the NFC South. It’s not incorrect that Mahomes has owned the division — and most teams in the NFL — during the regular season but the stat was missing a key piece of football history.

Tampa Bay beat Kansas City in Super Bowl 55, which seems to have been conveniently forgotten by Chiefs fans but prompted a truly incredible Community Note.

Run from it. Hide from it. The Bucs beating the daylights out of the Chiefs in the biggest game of the year will always be etched in history and impossible to ignore. It’s one of the crowning achievements in franchise history, as Tampa Bay remains the only blemish on Patrick Mahomes’ Super Bowl record and it’s a fact that will stand the test of time whether or not it tries to get erased from history.

Chiefs fans have been yapping about injuries ever since the loss, but that’s one of the weakest arguments someone can cook up. The Chiefs still managed to make it through a loaded AFC and that Super Bowl featured Mahomes at the peak of his powers as the best quarterback in football.

None of it mattered, as Todd Bowles’ defense handed the Chiefs their first Super Bowl loss but also held a Mahomes offense out of the endzone for the first tim ever. It was a truly masterful performance and no amount of revisionist history will change that.
