By one measurement Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had his worst game of the year against the Las Vegas Raiders. Now, it fortunately came in a 28-13 win, but we've now seen the Buccaneers quarterback complete less than 63 percent of his passes twice in the past month including this past Sunday.

Mayfield’s personal experience, like Young’s, also crossed paths with current Panthers head coach Dave Canales. Canales, of course, was the Buccaneers offensive coordinator in 2023—where he helped guide Mayfield to a career rejuvenation.

Baker Mayfield threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 28-13 and take over sole possession of first place in the NFC South.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were unsure what to do when they lost Tom Brady to retirement in 2022. They found a replacement for former number-one overall pick Baker Mayfield, and he is now poised to show how much this place has helped him in his career.
