Part 2/14:

One of the standout storylines from this week is Baker Mayfield’s exceptional performance leading Tampa Bay to a 30–19 victory over a battered 49ers squad. Despite missing key players like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Mayfield orchestrated a potent offense, averaging 7.3 yards per play. His scrambles and leadership on the field have him in MVP conversation territory, especially considering Tampa’s unexpected success in going to Seattle and winning.

Mayfield’s emotional scramble for a crucial first down exemplifies his resilience and clutch ability. The fact that Tampa Bay feels as potent as any team hinges on the health of their core offensive weapons. If the injury bugs subside, they could be a legitimate contender, with Mayfield leading the charge.
