After a lot of uncertainties, the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs took place at the Raymond James Stadium. Right where the league originally scheduled the game. Earlier this week, the Bucs took off to Miami to train ahead for their game. The team members evacuated along with their family members and pet. It was all because of the dangerous Hurricane Ian which Tom Brady acknowledged had a devastating effect on Florida.

On his weekly podcast, ‘Let’s Go!’, the NFL MVP-winning quarterback discussed how the game went and the adverse effect of the notorious Hurricane Ian. It was a Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that caused irreparable damage across western Cuba and the southeast United States, especially the states of Florida and South Carolina.
