Following a dominating 48-14 win by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers, quarterback Baker Mayfield had one of the best performances of his career, tying the most touchdowns he’s thrown in one game. After the win, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles went on to applaud the seven-year vet on his exceptional afternoon.
“He really played a heck of a ballgame, intelligently,” Bowles said. “We didn’t turn it over offensively, we were very good on third down and he controlled the ball, spread it around, got everybody touches, and he played a good ballgame.”
Against the Panthers, Mayfield completed 27-of-32 passing attempts for 359 yards, five touchdowns, and no turnovers, setting a career-high through the first half.
Compared to the rest of his career, Mayfield’s Week 17 performance is his fifth-most passing yards in a game, tying for the most touchdown passes he’s thrown in a game.
When looking at his completion percentage of 84.4%, this was his fourth-best performance.
So, even in year seven, Mayfield continues to prove his worth in the NFL.
