Baker Mayfield broke the hearts of Atlanta Falcons fans on Sunday, leading the game-winning 75-yard drive for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The drive was 12 plays long as the Bucs put themselves in front 29-26 with 31 seconds to go. Mayfield saw that there was a mismatch on tight end Cade Otton and threaded the pass to the endzone for 6 points.

The NFC South has once again been one of the worst divisions in the NFL. The Buccaneers, Falcons, and New Orleans Saints are now all tied at 6-7 after Sunday’s games. Then, there’s the Carolina Panthers who are now 1-12.
Mayfield’s day ended with 144 yards passing and 3 total touchdowns. Otton’s TD grab was just his 2nd catch of the day, but it was the most important of the game.
Winning these divisional games will go a long way for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers face the Green Bay Packers next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
