Buccaneers look to maintain momentum as Baker Mayfield leads Tampa Bay against struggling Jets
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for a pivotal Week 3 clash against the New York Jets this Sunday afternoon. After opening their season with two hard-fought victories, the Buccaneers are eager to keep their winning streak alive. Both of their wins have come by a razor-thin margin, with a combined total of just four points.
Mayfield’s Commanding Start
In a thrilling finish last week on Monday Night Football, Mayfield orchestrated an impressive 11-play, 80-yard drive that spanned just over two minutes. The drive culminated in a game-winning touchdown by Rachaad White, who found the end zone with a mere six seconds remaining on the clock.
As Mayfield embarks on his fourth season with the Buccaneers, he has established himself as a formidable leader. The veteran quarterback has yet to throw an interception this season, tossing five touchdown passes instead. Notably, three of those touchdowns have gone to rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who has quickly made his mark in the NFL.
Jets Face Adversity
In stark contrast, the Jets are navigating a challenging start to the season under new head coach Aaron Glenn, who is still in search of his inaugural victory. Compounding their difficulties, Glenn will be without starting quarterback Justin Fields, who is currently in concussion protocol. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is set to step in as the starter for Gang Green, hoping to steady the ship amid a turbulent stretch.
