Todd Bowles responds to the Saints’ late hit on Buccaneers key player

The Buccaneers’ head coach responds to the Saints’ late hit on Baker Mayfield.

Baker Mayfield is a winning player, and he shows it every time he takes the field.

 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t meant to be in this position. This new period was not planned to begin in this manner, which is a wonderful thing. Baker Mayfield, a former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft selection, has revived this team.

Mayfield has done everything he can to assure the Buccaneers have been able to win their first three games of the NFL season. This winning mentality led to a late hit on him on Sunday while he was making a play against the New Orleans Saints. He took a really severe knock while making the play. Instead of being shaken, he used it to excite the audience.

“He’s a difficult guy. He’s tough. After the game, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles observed, “He’s a very smart football player.” “He’s a competitor, and he’s been like way his entire life. He has a lot to prove, and he’s having a good time out there.”

This has contributed to the Buccaneers’ early success and will continue to be exactly what the team requires. Mayfield has 882 throwing yards on roughly a 70% completion percentage with seven touchdowns and two interceptions so far this season.

Mayfield has been the ideal successor to Tom Brady, leading the team in a way that fosters the team’s underdog mindset, playing clean football, and distributing the ball to playmakers.

While Brady is undeniably one of the best quarterbacks of all time, Mayfield brings a new approach and leadership, as well as the ability to make plays on his feet and prolong plays that the Buccaneers haven’t seen in recent seasons.

Mayfield was the only viable alternative at the time. He was all the Buccaneers could afford, and he needed a crack at starting, which he received. Things are off to a terrific start, thanks to a strong defense and receiving corps.

The Buccaneers defeated the Saints 26-9, with the defense not allowing a score. Mayfield dominated the offense and scored 26 points against an outstanding defense, proving everyone incorrect.
