Mayfield Throws 2 TDs, 2 INTs in Key Loss; Playoff Hopes Hinge on Week 18

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baker Mayfield completed 33 of 44 passes for 346 yards and two touchdowns (to Chris Godwin and Mike Evans) but also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. Despite big yardage and a season-high completion tally, critical fourth-quarter miscues contributed to the defeat. Mayfield's pivotal role in the Buccaneers' playoff prospects was debated by analysts. Tampa Bay can still win the NFC South with a Week 18 victory over the Panthers, making that game an elimination/NFC South title decider.
