Overview

• Tampa Bay visits Seattle on Sunday for a matchup between ex-Panthers teammates Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.
• Darnold called their 2022 Carolina stint "a special year" and praised Mayfield’s resilience, describing him as "a good dude."
• Mayfield downplayed any nostalgia for that period, replying to a question about reminiscing, "Reminisce about what days? Oh, nope. No, we don't."
• Both were top-three picks in 2018 who later produced Pro Bowl seasons and secured similar contracts: Mayfield for three years and $100 million, Darnold for three years and $100.5 million.
• Each team is 3-1 entering Sunday; Mayfield has 8 touchdowns to 1 interception, while Darnold has 5 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
