Huge flag on a Tom Brady deep ball to Mike Evans, who was tackled by Bashaud Breeland before he could get to the ball. It’s a 34-yard pass interference penalty, and Tampa Bay has a chance to score before the half.
Those three plays out of the two-minute warning will disappoint Mahomes, Andy Reid and Chiefs fans everywhere. But they salvage something with a 34-yard field goal by Butker, his second of the game.
Of course, they’ve left Brady a minute to do more damage.
1:01 | 2nd Quarter
The Chiefs settle for a field goal and trail, 14-6.
Intense pressure forced Patrick Mahomes to throw the ball away on a critical third down.
Mahomes trots to the sideline for the two-minute warning and it’s a big moment. He has guided the Chiefs from their 25 to the Tampa Bay 18, but Kansas City badly wants a score here to carry some momentum into halftime.
Remember, they deferred after winning the coin toss, so they’ll get the ball back first in the third quarter.

Ad whiplash from Rocket Mortgage (so many maskless people coming out of a movie theater!) to the oat drink company Oatly (chief executive Toni Petersson singing alone at a keyboard in the middle of a field).
Moments after a Ryan Succop field goal was taken off the board when a Chiefs penalty gave the Bucs a first down, Brady steps back and finds Gronkowski again. It’s 14-3 as we close in on halftime.
The Chiefs may be the defending Super Bowl champions but in the first half, in multiple ways, they have played like a fidgety team cowed by the weight of a Super Bowl appearance. The Buccaneers do not score their second touchdown without three Chiefs blunders. It began with a 29-yard punt by Kansas City’s rookie punter Tommy Townsend, who earlier had a 27-yard punt.
Townsend’s kick gave Tampa Bay possession at the Kansas City 38. The drive was extended twice by Chiefs errors: First, an interception of a deflected Brady pass was nullified by a defensive holding penalty, and then Kansas City lined up offside on the Succop field-goal attempt. That mistake gave the Buccaneers a first down and on the next play, Brady connected with Gronkowski for his second touchdown reception.
6:05 | 2nd Quarter
Tampa Bay leads 14-3 after another Gronkowski TD.
A penalty took a field goal off the board, and the Buccaneers scored a touchdown instead.

The Chiefs are repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. They force a fourth-down field goal, but a player lined up in the neutral zone, giving the Bucs a first down deep in Kansas City territory.

A Tyrann Mathieu interception is wiped out by a holding penalty against the Chiefs.
Tom Brady’s age may have finally been a factor as the Buccaneers opted to hand the ball off to Jones on fourth down at the goal line. Throughout his career, Brady has been arguably the best ever at the quarterback sneak. No one could burrow underneath, or over, or through a pile of huge linemen and come out unscathed like Brady. But over the last few years, the Patriots ran that kind of short-yardage play less frequently, perhaps as a way to preserve Brady’s health, and today the Buccaneers decided against it, too.

The crowd has enough people that it can get fairly loud for big plays. But when play stops for commercials, it gets unusually quiet in the stadium.
Kevin Draper
The Chiefs can’t even get punting right. Their first booming punt was called back because of a holding penalty, and then Tommy Townsend shanked the second off his foot. The Bucs will start at the Chiefs’ 38-yard-line.
Kevin Draper
On third and long Mahomes is forced to scramble, but manages to find his favorite target, Travis Kelce. Kelce drops the ball, however, which is a pretty good summary of the Chiefs’ offense tonight.
After narrowly missing on the Super Bowl dream — a lineman touchdown reception — the Bucs ram running back Ronald Jones II at the Chiefs on two straight runs at the goal line.
Kansas City stuffs the first and then, stunning the Tampa crowd, does the same on the next play. This could be a big early momentum shift.
The Bucs challenged the call, but the line was so jammed there wasn’t really a view to review, or reason to overturn the call on the field.
A quick three-and-out series for Kansas City gave the ball back to Brady, and he picks up right where he left off on the touchdown drive.
The Bucs are on the front foot now, and the Chiefs are backing up. Brady, perhaps sensing that, goes for a big play — and finds Mike Evans on a deep route across the middle. The 33-yard gain sets up first and goal.
Kevin Draper
The Chiefs still can’t get anything rolling, and are forced to punt. It’s not a great one, just 27 yards.

Officially fans are not allowed to roam around the stadium, but in practice there is plenty of movement in sections, at the very least. Some fans have moved into other rows to celebrate with others.
Patrick Mahomes completed only one of his first six passes, which isn’t surprising when you consider that he’s been throwing on the run from the start of the game. In fact, he’s been doing almost everything on the run.
Mahomes’s one completion was for three yards. But he has rushed three times for 24 yards. It all adds to a quarterback who is not being well protected. Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has thrown a variety of blitz looks at the Chiefs, including sending both cornerbacks on a third-and-8. Mahomes, as he often does, avoided the pressure but had to throw while sprinting, which led to another incompletion — a dart intended for Tyreek Hill that nailed Hill in the helmet. The pass, from the Tampa Bay 31-yard line was the Chiefs’ best shot at the end zone. The drive ended with a Kansas City Field goal.
Kevin Draper
The Chiefs will begin their next drive with great field position, as Byron Pringle returned the kickoff 41 yards.
As New England weeps, an old Patriots connection — Brady to Rob Gronkowski — gets the Bucs into the end zone. The 8-yard touchdown capped a masterly play-calling drive by Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, who negated Kansas City’s eager pass rush with screens, quick passes and play-action calls.
Brady has really found his rhythm now: A 16-yard pass to Antonio Brown, an inside screen to Cameron Brate, and another pass to Brown on the outside moved Tampa Bay right down the field. But with the end zone beckoning, he found his old friend.
And lest anyone forget, Brady’s last touchdown pass in a Super Bowl went to Gronk. In the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII, a New England Patriots loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady found Gronk for a pass that briefly put the Patriots ahead.
0:37 | 1st Quarter
Gronkowski gets into the end zone. Bucs lead, 7-3.
Tampa Bay looked like a different team, moving down the field in huge chunks.

A 17-yard pass from Tom Brady to Antonio Brown woke up the crowd, which had been fairly quiet since Kansas City scored.
The Buccaneers’ hopes of pressuring Mahomes rest in the very strategy — a four-man rush — deployed by the Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who, when he was with the Giants, orchestrated the defensive scheme that stifled Tom Brady in the Super Bowl after the 2007 season. With the Chiefs’ offensive line diluted by injuries and absences, this pathway to victory certainly exists for Tampa Bay.
Harrison Butker gets us on the board with a 49-yard field goal after a third-down pass from Mahomes to Tyreek Hill hits Hill — at full extension — in the facemask at the goal line and bounces to the turf.
5:10 | 1st Quarter
The Chiefs take a lead with a 49-yard field goal.
A promising drive stalled, but after a series of punts, there are finally points on the board.
Big events like the Super Bowl always challenge streaming services, app developers and others because the normal daily traffic increases exponentially. Today is no different.
The CBS All Access app, the best way to watch the game in the United States if you do not have cable television or an antenna, seems to be down for a number of users.
CBS says they have fixed all issues with the streaming service:
Hi! The reported technical issues with the service have been resolved, please restart your CBS All Access app, and you can now return to streaming. If you continue to experience problems, please let us know. *MP

The first ever national anthem duet at the Super Bowl lasted approximately 2 minutes 22 seconds, well over the amount of time casinos had set for the over/under for it.
The length of the song’s performance is one of the most popular prop bets for any Super Bowl, as is the winner of the coin toss (the Chiefs won). Fans described delays placing their bets ahead of kickoff, with two of the biggest online sports betting sites, DraftKings and FanDuel, experiencing tech problems.
FanDuel statement: “Due to unprecedented demand, we are experiencing isolated service interruptions with our Sportsbook in certain markets. Our teams are working to remedy the problem as quickly as possible.”

The anthem performance was the subject of some scandal this weekend. On Friday, a reporter stationed across the street from the stadium — near the Yankees’ spring training site — recorded a rehearsal of the tune, sung by Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church. After word of the recording got out, betting sites that had been taking action on the length of the performance stopped. That version was taped at 2:16, so the live version was even more plodding and slow. But it sounded nice.
Brady, after picking up a Tampa Bay first down with a 13-yard pass, is sacked on third-and-8 and trots back to the sideline off a second straight unsatisfying drive. But the bigger problem for Tampa Bay is a 33-yard punt that gives the Chiefs the ball close to the 40-yard line.
They run a reverse to Tyreek Hill on first down, a good reminder that the Chiefs’ offense is kind of fun. And capable of a big play at any moment.
As if on cue: Mahomes, taking off again, quickly picks up another first down. He’s already rushed for 24 yards.

There are reminders about masks everywhere you look — and the N.F.L. supplied fans with KN95 masks — but compliance has waned since fans arrived. Some masks are moving further down chins, some are gone.
The Chiefs give the ball right back after failing to convert on a third down, but Mahomes made the Bucs’ defense work a bit harder than Brady did. An 11-yard run on third-and-7 produced the game’s initial first down, and he took off on another sprint a few moments later. The Bucs’ front seven is coming at him hard, though, and forced him to dump the ball once under pressure. That battle should continue all night.

It’s not surprising, but it is notable how audible the cheering (and taunting) of various fans is thanks to the smaller crowd. During Tampa Bay’s first punt, you could hear individual voices.
Kevin Draper
Patrick Mahomes is not a running quarterback like Lamar Jackson, but he scrambles quite effectively, including for a first down just now to keep the drive alive.
Tom Brady’s first drive was a quickie: a 2-yard completion, a 3-yard run and an incompletion and Tampa Bay is punting 100 seconds into the game.
Patrick Mahomes: You’re on.
