Baker Mayfield, Bucs On The Cusp Of NFL History
November 7th, 2025
Clutch.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this. If it does, Joe will still celebrate with a cold beer.
There is a reason why Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is getting some run for NFL MVP this season. It is because the dude has icewater in his veins.
Some two-thirds of the Bucs’ wins came on the shoulders of Mayfield when the Bucs needed him the most, points out Jenna Laine of ESPN. And that’s why he still could be the NFL MVP.
In fact, Mayfield is one heroic win away from NFL history as Laine points out.
QB stat to know: Mayfield, who has generated quite a bit of MVP buzz, has led four game-winning drives in the final minute against the Falcons, Texans, Jets and Seahawks. One more will give him and the Bucs the most in a season in NFL history.
Joe hopes it doesn’t come to that. Why? A come-from-behind win in the final minute means the Bucs have to be trailing near the end of the game for Mayfield to record his feat.
Who wants to see the Bucs trailing in the final minute of a game? Not Joe!
Rather, Joe hopes Mayfield gives Joe and all Bucs fans a laugher Sunday against a damn good team. That will also send a message to the rest of the league: When it comes to playing the Bucs, FAFO.
