What happened
Baker Mayfield is playing more like a quarterback trying to justify his contract. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to their first 0-2 start since 2014 after making Mayfield the highest-paid player in franchise history. Mayfield received a $165 million, three-year extension earlier this month and seems to be trying to do too much, leading to mistakes.
