The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-24, in an overtime thriller on Monday night.

Here are some quick notes about the victory.

1. The Chiefs are 8-0 to begin the season for the third time in franchise history.

Kansas City remains undefeated heading into its ninth game of the season for the third time in franchise history (2003 and 2013). Four of the Chiefs’ eight victories took place over teams that are currently .500 or better, and for what it’s worth, the Buccaneers entered Monday’s game with a .500 record (4-4) before falling to Kansas City.

Remarkably, this is the fifth time the Chiefs have recorded a single-season winning streak of at least eight games under Head Coach Andy Reid.

2. Kansas City has now won 14 consecutive games dating back to last season.

The Chiefs have not lost since falling to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16 of last season, tallying 14 straight wins in that time (including the playoffs). It’s the longest winning streak in franchise history, and the longest for any team since the 2015 Carolina Panthers won 14 straight games to open that season.

The streak is tied for the 12th longest in NFL history, and currently stands seven wins behind the 2003-2004 New England Patriots for the league record (21 straight).

3. The Chiefs won the coin toss in overtime and didn’t waste the opportunity.

Tailback Kareem Hunt powered ahead for a 2-yard touchdown to complete a 10-play, 70-yard series that won the game in overtime on Monday night. Hunt accounted for 27 yards on the series (16 rushing, 11 receiving) while tight end Travis Kelce (3 catches for 26 yards) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (1 catch for 15 yards) also contributed with big plays.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 5-for-5 on the drive for 52 yards.

4. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a home debut to remember.

Hopkins was sensational on Monday, catching eight passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his scoring grabs took place on third down, and for the game, five of Hopkins eight receptions picked up a first down.

Three of those five first-down grabs took place on third down, with the result being two touchdown grabs and an incredible 35-yard reception amidst triple coverage that moved the chains on 3rd-and-8 late in the first half.

The play, which eventually led to Hopkins’ first touchdown grab of the game a little bit later, had a 12.3 percent chance of being completed according to Next Gen Stats.
