Despite the rocky start, Mayfield’s year has been marked by resilience, winning four games in the final minutes. Against all odds, he began to turn the tide during crucial moments, reinserting himself as a legitimate MVP contender. His leadership shone through during a pivotal third-and-14 play late in the third quarter, when he somehow evaded a blitz onslaught of Niners defenders to pick up the first down with a daring scramble.
