Kansas City Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers live stream (Fox): Watch NFL football 2016 online

The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a game they will be looking to win to ensure they keep their noses in front in a hugely competitive AFC West division. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Chiefs are currently sitting atop of the AFC West, but know there is no room for any slip ups if they want to stay there.

Kansas City enter today's game with a 7-2 record, and they are under big pressure from the 7-2 Oakland Raiders and 7-3 Denver Broncos in the AFC West.

Who will blink first in this hugely competitive division remains to be seen, but the Chiefs will be desperate to claim the win today and record their eighth victory of the season so far.

But their opposition today will be just as desperate to claim the win. The Buccaneers currently sit second in the NFC South - a division where just one team has a winning record coming into Week 11.

The Atlanta Falcons are top with a 6-4 record, followed by the 4-5 Buccaneers, and the 4-6 New Orleans Saints and 4-6 Carolina Panthers.

If the Buccaneers can pull off a surprise win today they will move back to an even record and will feel they can then push on into December and hopefully overturn the Falcons at the top of the division.

However, if they drop down to 4-6 today it will be a long way back and with time running out, they could start to slip away in the fight for the postseason berths.

Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football the Carolina Panthers claimed a tight 23-20 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

The Panthers looked comfortable as the game wound down towards the end, but the Saints rallied and almost stole the win. However, they came up just short and their late game rally was ultimately in vain.

Carolina really need to sort out how they tackle the final quarter of games, and even though they managed to hang on against the Saints, their fourth quarter performances have undermined their season badly.

They entered the fourth quarter here with a healthy 23-3 lead, but allowed the Saints to pile on 17 unanswered points to move within a score of turning this game on its head. New Orleans even had the ball with an opportunity in the final seconds - that's how close the Panthers came to blowing things again.

However, the Panthers tackled receiver Michael Thomas at their 43 yard line as the clock ran out, and Carolina breathed a huge sigh of relief.
