Tampa Bay-Kansas City Super Bowl LV set featuring rosters with 33 players from SEC schools

Super Bowl LV is set. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing in their home stadium, will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 7. The Bucs defeated the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game 31-26 while the Chiefs topped the Buffalo Bills 38-24 to win the AFC.
