Super Bowl 2021 weather update: Kansas City Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
When thinking of the perfect location for Super Bowl LV, one place comes to mind, Tampa, Florida. The weather in Florida is almost perfect in February: not too hot not too cold, perfect football weather. This is the exact type of weather that is needed for the Super Bowl.
This type of weather favors both offenses. Kansas City Chiefs like to throw the football around. Tampa Bay Buccaneers also don't mind throwing the ball either. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the stronger run game.
Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones II could play a huge role in this year's Super Bowl. Tom Brady has shown in the past that the way to beat the Chiefs is to keep Mahomes on the sideline. With Bruce Arians stating that he lets Tom Brady make decisions, we could potentially see the Bucs run the football a lot on Sunday.
With Leonard Fournette having a tremendous success in this years playoffs, Tampa Bay will most likely test out their run game and if it's successful they will go to it often. Especially, if the weather starts to make an impact.
Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be paying close attention to the weather. It is not likely that either team bases their offense on the weather, but they will both make adjustments if needed. With that being said, let us take a look at the weather report for Super Bowl LV.
