The Baker Mayfield magic continues as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear poised to be a viable Super Bowl contender.
Mayfield guided the Buccaneers (4-1) on another game-winning drive en route to a 38-35 victory at the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) on Sunday.
The Oklahoma product marched the Buccaneers down the field on a 5-play, 70-yard drive capped off with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard to tie the game at 35 with 1:08 remaining. Then the Buccaneers orchestrated a 5-play, 14-yard drive with a 39-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin as time expired.
Here’s a clip from Mayfield’s game-tying touchdown throw:
Mayfield completed 29 of his 33 passes for 379 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. Mayfield is the first quarterback in NFL history to register at least 375 passing yards and fewer than 5 incompletions in a regular season game.
The 6-foot-1 Mayfield has helped the Buccaneers rack up an impressive 3-0 road record this season. Mayfield takes his fair share of risks but only has 1 turnover this season.
Mayfield has revitalized his career since joining the Buccaneers. He’s coming off back-to-back seasons with over 4,000 passing yards. It’s exciting to consider what he’ll have in store for the rest of this season.
Mayfield and the Buccaneers host the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET/CBS).
