The Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep rolling, and Baker Mayfield has played a huge role in that.
The Oklahoma product is finally playing up to the standards of a No. 1 pick.
He has Todd Bowles’ team sitting on a 4-1 record, and he was just one score away from being undefeated.
He’s pulled off four game-winning drives in five weeks, proving to have the clutch gene that not many quarterbacks can brag about.
Moreover, he made history with his epic performance in the win over the Seattle Seahawks:
“Baker Mayfield is the first QB ever to have 375+ Pass Yards and fewer than 5 incompletions in a regular season game,” via NFL on CBS.

Mayfield completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 passing yards and two touchdowns, adding five carries for 15 yards.
The former Cleveland Browns draft pick has been without Mike Evans for the past couple of weeks, which only makes this all the more remarkable.
The Buccaneers seemed out of the game after falling by one score in the fourth quarter.
Once again, Mayfield had different plans, and he set up yet another game-winning field goal by Chase McLaughlin.
The Bucs are sitting atop the NFC South and look like a legitimate Super Bowl contender right now, and they will only be better once they’re back to full strength.
It took him way longer than expected, and it was crazy to think that his days as a starter were almost coming to an end, but Mayfield’s late-career surge has been remarkable.
He’s another case of a player just needing to be in the right system and with a team that trusted him to finally flourish and live up to the hype.
