Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians did not hold anything back as he addressed fans during the team's Super Bowl championship boat parade on Wednesday.
Arians boldly declared his team, unlike the Kansas City Chiefs, will get two Lombardi's in a row:
“Anybody who says, ‘Run it back.' Bullshit,” Arians said. “That was Kansas City's bullshit. We going for two. We ain't stopping. We're going to keep this band together.”
Arians lauded the players and their families for the support structure provided during the pandemic, and also said his players simply know how to win. He was then greeted with a Gatorade bath courtesy of Bucs defensive tackle Vita Vea.
Tampa Bay's head coach has always been known for his bluntness and colorful language. He gave another curt assessment of the Buccaneers' dominant win over the Chiefs:
“We physically kicked their ass,” Arians said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Arians certainly isn't wrong in that regard.
The Buccaneers dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the football. Tampa Bay sacked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes three times and pressured him 29 times, forcing the superstar to run nearly 500 yards on a bad foot to avoid the pressure.
But the Buccaneers' offensive line also left their stamp on the game. Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones combined to rush 28 times for 150 yards, which was over 5.35 yards per carry. Whereas Mahomes rarely ever had a clean pocket, Tom Brady had ample time to throw.
Arians' team was the aggressor on Super Bowl Sunday, as he so eloquently described in classic Arians fashion.
