The Chiefs had an uphill battle with Tampa Bay having an
unprecedented home-field advantage at Raymond James Stadium and a
roster with three previous Madden NFL cover stars, Rob Gronkowski
(‘17), Brady (‘18) and Antonio Brown (‘19). To win, the Chiefs
high-powered offense had to go all out battling back and forth with
the equally electric Tampa Bay offense, with both teams taking to
the air early and often throughout the game.
Kansas City’s relentless attack ultimately proves to be too much
for Tampa Bay, and Mahomes’ mobility is the standout factor,
avoiding Tampa Bay’s pass rush late in the game to pull away for
the victory. Both starting quarterbacks put up stellar performances
with Mahomes throwing for 422 yards and four touchdowns, cementing
his second MVP title, and Brady throwing for 332 yards, three
touchdowns and one interception.
Here’s how it all goes down in Madden NFL 21:
- Q1: Tampa Bay scores first with a field goal from Ryan
Succop, but Mahomes follows quickly with a 5-yard touchdown pass to
running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
- Q2: The quarterback battle ignites as Mahomes and Brady
go back and forth. Brady finds Chris Goodwin on a 24-yard touchdown
pass and Succop hammers another field goal from 46 yards. Mahomes
bounces back, going to his favorite wide receiver Tyreek Hill for
another Chief’s touchdown, keeping the game within one point with
Kansas City out front 14-13.
- Q3: Mahomes comes out hot in the second half with a
63-yard touchdown pass back to Hill, who, according to NFL Next Gen
Stats, hits a top speed of 22 mph. However, Brady answers with a
17-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans. Mahomes, resilient and
determined to win, hits fellow Madden NFL “99 Club” member, Travis
Kelce for a Chiefs touchdown to end the quarter.
- Q4: With just one touchdown between the two teams, it
all comes down to the game’s nail biting, final 15 minutes. The
final quarter opens with Tampa Bay’s Rob Gronkowski, the G.O.A.T.
tight end stepping up for his team with a touchdown. Mahomes
responds by pushing his way into the endzone with a 12-yard run
squarely putting the moment in Kansas City’s hands. To end the
game, the Chiefs kick a final field goal before the clock runs
out.
