TBB • QB • #6
The three-score effort was Mayfield’s first since Week 1. He also added six carries for 42 yards, looking shockingly lively with his legs. Mayfield deserved a better fate, but the Bucs’ defense fell apart late and Mayfield himself missed a few throws that could have ended the game, most notably a wide-open Mike Evans for what would have been the duo’s third score. Mayfield never saw the streaking wideout. The QB still wasn’t the reason the Bucs lost, looking decisive as he operated an increasingly up-tempo attack. There was a scary third quarter moment where Mayfield got his leg twisted up on a red zone third down, but he was good to go after some sideline reflection. The Saints await as a Week 6 road matchup. Mayfield has bulled his way into the QB10-15 mix.
