Mayfield Throws for 277 Yards, Critical Interception in Loss

Baker Mayfield completed 19 of 34 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and one critical interception, adding one rush for one yard in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. Despite taking five sacks and seven hits, Mayfield achieved his best yardage total since Week 5, benefiting from the returns of Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, who combined for 170 receiving yards. His interception at the Falcons' 33-yard line led directly to an Atlanta touchdown. Mayfield will seek a more efficient performance against the Panthers in Week 16 on Dec. 21.
