Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles has expressed strong confidence in quarterback Baker Mayfield, highlighting his competitive nature and leadership. Bowles noted that Mayfield’s “win-at-all-costs mentality” has been instrumental in the team’s success, particularly in securing their fourth consecutive NFC South title.
Mayfield’s performance this season has been impressive, throwing 41 touchdown passes and leading an offense that ranks third in the league. Despite missing three games due to a hamstring injury, wide receiver Mike Evans achieved his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season, tying the NFL record held by Jerry Rice.
In a recent press conference, Bowles praised Mayfield’s decision-making, particularly his intelligent use of rushing opportunities, stating that Mayfield has been “using his legs intelligently” to extend plays and gain crucial yardage.
Looking ahead, the Buccaneers are preparing to face the Washington Commanders in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Bowles emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and building on the momentum generated by Mayfield’s leadership and the team’s recent performances.
