Baker Mayfield Leads Buccaneers to NFC South Title and Playoff Berth

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched their fourth consecutive division title with a gritty comeback win over the New Orleans Saints.

Baker Mayfield threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns and scrambled for a season-high 68 rushing yards to secure the Buccaneers' 27-19 victory over the Saints.
The win marks Tampa Bay's fourth straight NFC South title and fifth consecutive playoff appearance, a franchise first.
Mayfield finished the regular season with 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns, becoming the 10th quarterback in NFL history to achieve such a season milestone.
Rookie receiver Jalen McMillan and veteran Mike Evans played pivotal roles, with Evans extending his record to 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons, tying Jerry Rice.
The Buccaneers enter the playoffs as a dangerous dark horse team, combining playoff experience with strong performances from Mayfield and their offensive core.
