The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered the 2023 season with several questions.
They were slated to have a quarterback competition between Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield, but it was clear early on that Mayfield would be taking over the job.
While there have been some rocky weeks, Mayfield has found a way to impact the Buccaneers’ offense significantly.
After the game, head coach Todd Bowles discussed Mayfield’s play and how it has brought the Buccaneers to their current position.
According to Bowles via Pewter Report, “It’s huge for us.”

Bowles talked about how Mayfield got this done, attributing a lot of their success to the fact that he spread the ball around.
Four players caught touchdown passes, making reading these throws more challenging for the Green Bay Packers defense.
Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are his primary targets in a typical week.
While both players performed well in this game, he spread the ball enough to keep the Packers guessing.
With this win, the Buccaneers kept themselves alive in the NFC South race, bringing their season record to 7-7.
They are currently the top team in the division, and as long as they keep winning, that will remain true heading into the playoffs.
The New Orleans Saints are right on their tail, emphasizing their upcoming matchup in Week 17.
This game will likely decide the winner of the division, something that was not expected of the Buccaneers coming into the year.
Fans will be interested to see how this race turns out and who the NFC South’s playoff representative will be.
