The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were unsure what to do when they lost Tom Brady to retirement in 2022. They found a replacement for former number-one overall pick Baker Mayfield, and he is now poised to show how much this place has helped him in his career.

The Buccaneers led 14-0 after their first two drives with Baker Mayfield throwing two touchdown passes. They now lead only 14-10 after three Mayfield turnovers. Mayfield started his day 8-of-9 for 92 yards and two touchdowns with drives of 85 and 52 yards.

On Sunday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders in a back-and-forth contest at home to pick up their third straight victory and move back into first place in the NFC South.

Baker Mayfield already has matched his career high for touchdown passes in a season - and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won three straight games to climb into playoff contention

Baker Mayfield didn't play well against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense is fortunate enough to have a very potent ground game to lean on when the passing attack isn't effective.
