Overview

• Through five games, Mayfield has 1,283 yards, 10 touchdowns and one interception with a 65.1% completion rate for 4-1 Tampa Bay.
• He went 29-of-33 for 379 yards and two scores in the 38-35 road win at Seattle, engineering the late rally.
• Tampa Bay has four last-minute comeback victories in its first five games, the most by any team to start a season since the 1970 merger, per Elias Sports Bureau.
• A tunnel video showed Mayfield firing back at a heckler before kickoff—“You’ll be real [expletive] quiet at halftime”—then returning postgame to say, “I told you so.”
• Mayfield acknowledged the shifting labels—“cocky, immature” to “moxie” and “dog”—as Tom Brady applauded his edge and Allen Iverson called him “a dog.”
