Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> defensive coordinator Todd Bowles had his team make play after play on Sunday night, beating the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> 31-9 in Super Bowl LV.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bowles was head coach of the Jets from 2015-2018, going 24-40 with the team. He took a year off of coaching before accepting the DC job with the Bucs in January of 2019, after they had hired Bruce Arians as head coach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bucs defense held Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes<\/a> to only 270 yards passing and forced him to throw two interceptions. They sacked the former MVP three times, and allowed only 107 total rushing yards to the Chiefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s the first time that Bowles has won a Super Bowl as a coach, after having won once as a player with Washington in Super Bowl XXII.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite having Tom Brady on offense, the Bucs defense made big plays consistently during the playoffs. They won three road games before becoming the first team to host a Super Bowl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bowles’ defense finished the regular season ranked eighth overall, and was fifth in turnovers with 25.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at all the former Jets who are now Super Bowl Champions following Sunday\u2019s big game.<\/strong><\/p>\n
