In Week 1, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense didn\u2019t do a lot, but Baker Mayfield came up huge when it mattered for a win.<\/p>\n
After two weeks, it\u2019s a trend.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers hadn\u2019t scored in the second half when the Houston Texans scored just before the two-minute warning to take a 19-14 lead. Tampa Bay was without both tackles and protection was a big issue. And even though the offense was bad for 28 minutes of the second half, it did enough in the final two minutes to win.<\/p>\n

Mayfield, who took big hits and was slow to get up on a couple occasions, kept the game alive with a big scramble on fourth-and-10 in the final two minutes. Then he marched Tampa Bay into position for Rachaad White to run for a 2-yard touchdown with six seconds left to give the Buccaneers a dramatic 20-19 win over the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n
Last week, Mayfield threw a game-winning touchdown in the final minute to beat the Atlanta Falcons. That\u2019s a dramatic way to go 2-0.<\/p>\n
Mayfield has been good for the Buccaneers ever since they signed him to a bargain contract in 2023. So far this season Mayfield has been great when the Buccaneers have needed it most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Week 1, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense didn\u2019t do a lot, but Baker Mayfield came up huge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[97294,1802,46759,7095,4058,349,99,1824,1022,46760],"class_list":["post-159812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-alex-slitz","tag-baker-mayfield","tag-buccaneers","tag-houston","tag-houston-texans","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-texas","tag-the-buccaneers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
