FUTURE PLANNING
Brady signs off by saying "we're coming back".
Ominous.

"I'm so proud of all these guys out here. Everything we dealt with all year. we are together at the right time, we knew this was going to happen tonight. We ended up playing our best game of the year.
"I'm not making any comparisons (to any other wins). Every year is amazing and this team is world champions forever, you can't take it away from us."
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN
Tom Brady is Super Bowl MVP!
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES
Tampa are the first team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
It's time to celebrate (safely) in Florida.
TOMPA BAY
What more is there to say about Tom Brady?
We can't say more than we do year in, year out.
10 Super Bowls - 7 wins. The greatest ever.
EMBRACE
Grace and respect between Mahomes and Brady.
"Keep in touch" was the message.
And a tribute from the New England Patriots to their former QB too.
THAT'S IT!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV!
A seventh Super Bowl win for Tom Brady in 10 appearances.
A second in franchise history for Tampa Bay.
This was their night, a dominant performance.
INTERCEPTED!
White picks off Mahomes in the end zone.
One last moment of despair for the Chiefs.
Tampa Bay are two minutes away and the celebrations have started.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
Mahomes completes to Robinson on 4th and 3 - that will take us to the 2-minute warning.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
Brady with a deep ball on 3rd and 5, but he can't hit his man down the field.
Chiefs have another shot at scoring a TD with 3:30 to go.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
4th down and the Chiefs have no choice but to go for it again - and again they come up short.
A true fright night for Mahomes. He has been completely battered back there by this Bucs D.
COMMOTION
There's a break in play as a fan has run onto the field.
Brady and Mahomes both look far from impressed.
Five minutes to play and Chiefs driving.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
Are they going for it on 4th down?
No, the Bucs needed just a yard but take the sensible option and kick it deep, making Mahomes go the length of the field.
No letting up with 8 minutes to play.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
Mahomes goes for it on 4th and 9 and somehow gets the pass off, while being chased all round his backfield.
It just escapes Williams in the end zone, and it's a turnover on downs.
Mahomes sits on the turf looking around. He knows his Super Bowl is slipping away from him.
END OF 3
It's 31-9 headed to the 4th quarter.
Just 15 minutes separate Brady with a seventh ring, and a second championship in history for the Bucs.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 31
Succop with the FIELD GOAL from 52 yards and it's good.
Brady might have broken down on that drive, but more points and the lead extends as we tick towards the end of the third quarter.
It realllllly is now or never for the Chiefs.
STAT'S AMAZING
Mahomes today - 11/23 for 75 yards and a pick.
Wow.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 28
Mahomes SACKED by Barrett, and then he's PICKED by Winfield.
That could be a dagger. The Chiefs have no answer.
PLAYOFF LENNY
A touchdown in all four playoff games for Fournette now.
And that's 4 TDs in the last 5 drives, with the other drive being a stop at the 1.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 28
Brady carves his way through the defences again, and then Fournette took it the rest of the way from 27 yards.
Another touchdown for Tampa Bay, they're really running riot.
I don't want to write Mahomes off, but it's now 19 points.
TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Fournette is off to the races, and TO. THE. HOUSE.
CHIEFS 9 BUCS 21
Mahomes scrambling on 3rd down, but he can't find Kelce to move the chains.
That brings out Butker for his third field goal attempt of the night, and this one is a beauty from 52 yards.
Points. It's what they needed. But could've done with 7.
CHIEFS 6 BUCS 21
Edward-Helaire picks up 26, and then Mahomes finds Kelce.
Signs the Chiefs might be waking up.
HERE WE GO AGAIN
Right then... we're ready to go again.
Chiefs have the ball, but a lot of work to do.
THAT IS THAT
The Weeknd is done. His half-time show is over.
Here's some pics of his performance.
