The Bucs fought their way into the NFL playoffs by winning the NFC South with a record of 10-7 in the regular season. They did it, and now they face off against a team they handled in Week 1 in a one-sided matchup: the Washington Commanders.
Baker Mayfield wrapped up a career year for himself in Week 18 against the Saints, how is he now going into the first round of the playoffs?
Baker Mayfield status update
Baker Mayfield became the second quarterback in franchise history to pass for 40+ touchdowns, joining Tom Brady who achieved it twice. Mayfield was banged up a couple times during the season but the team and opponents could never keep him down for long.
All year long he did his best version of Brett Favre on the field while being Iron Man for the team in never going out of the game. He will be available against the Commanders as they look to lean on the success he had in Week 1. In that season opening performance Mayfield passed for 289 yards and four touchdowns in the process.
