Dual threat again.
Maybe Baker Mayfield is finally healthy from his oblique and knee issues. Regardless, he sure finally looked healthy in Buffalo today.
After not one official rushing attempt in the past three games, Mayfield’s legs were a huge component to this game, a brutal loss in which the offense scored 32 points.
The Bucs actually called a read-option for Mayfield, which he took full advantage of against the Bills. Mayfield scrambled 5 times for 40 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown run. His previous high rushing total this season was 44 yards against the Jets in Week. 3
Joe’s not even thinking about the said final score here. Just seeing Mayfield dangerous again on the ground was a very welcome sight.
Unless the Bucs can get more legitimate receiving weapons on the field, they’ll need every yard they can get from Mayfield’s legs to beat good teams.
