Baker Mayfield Sets Efficiency Record, Lifts Bucs Past Seahawks on Late Drive

FanDuel shortened his MVP odds to +1300 after five games.

Overview

  • Mayfield went 29-of-33 for 379 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, becoming the first NFL quarterback with 375-plus passing yards and fewer than five incompletions in a regular-season game, per NFL on CBS.
  • He delivered his fourth game-winning fourth-quarter drive of the season, tying the game with an 11-yard pass to Sterling Shepard before a Lavonte David interception set up Chase McLaughlin’s 39-yard field goal as time expired.
  • The win moved Tampa Bay to 4-1, and Mayfield’s season totals reached 1,283 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception as his MVP odds improved from +2500 to +1300 on FanDuel.
  • Seattle’s Sam Darnold completed 28 of 34 passes for 341 yards and four touchdowns, but his lone turnover in the final minute preceded the Buccaneers’ deciding kick.
  • Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is expected to miss at least two weeks with a shoulder subluxation, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, adding pressure to a ground game that mustered just 56 yards.
