Baker Mayfield Leads Buccaneers to Wins Despite Injuries
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to accumulate wins despite suffering key injuries to several skill players, thanks to Baker Mayfield's outstanding performance.
Mayfield threw two touchdown passes to players who had never caught an NFL touchdown before, helping the Buccaneers defeat the San Francisco 49ers 30-19 on Sunday.
- Kameron Johnson's 34-yard TD catch was his first career reception.
- Tez Johnson's 45-yard TD reception was only the sixth catch of the season for the rookie.
The Buccaneers have reached 5-1 for the sixth time in franchise history, with no other NFC team having five wins.
The team now sets its sights on competing for a No. 1 spot, with a major test upcoming against the Detroit team (4-2) next Monday night.
