Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield completed 15-of-18 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs’ 23-20, Wild Card loss to the Commanders, adding 23 yards rushing on seven carries.

Mayfield was efficient and effective through the air, but the Bucs didn’t have the ball much in this game. In the fourth quarter when the Bucs had a chance to pull away, Mayfield and wide receiver Jalen McMillan were not on the same page on a reverse, which led to a fumble charged to Mayfield and essentially gave the Commanders a late lead. Despite the playoff loss, it was another solid season for Mayfield in Tampa Bay as he threw for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns on a 71.4 percent completion rate during the regular season. He also rushed for 378 yards and three touchdowns, but he did lead the league with 16 interceptions, so that is something that he’s going to need to work on next year since those miscues cost the Bucs in the playoffs too.
