The Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs 31-9 to win the Super Bowl. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already thinking about what itโll take to repeat as Super Bowl champions. If Brady, Arians and general manager Jason Licht have their way, Gronkowski, Brown and Fournette wonโt wind up being one-season rentals. โHopefully we can keep the band together, have an offseason and actually know what weโre doing (entering next season),โ Arians said. It changed our entire football team.โAdBrady said Arians, who also has two Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach, deserves credit, too.
