Jordan Hayes: "Mayfield's arm decided this one—7 touchdown passes means Tampa Bay's passing game simply overwhelmed Atlanta's secondary, and when a QB gets that loose in a shootout, the math doesn't work in your favor no matter how well your ground game performs." Nicole Santos: "Tampa Bay got away without ever having to establish anything on the ground—3 carries for 27 yards—because Atlanta's defense couldn't generate pressure without help. The Bucs won a shootout where they barely had to run."

91 points, and Buccaneers had more of them, 49-42. Baker Mayfield was steady for Buccaneers — 24/36, 381 yards, 7 TD, 1 INT. Ty Simpson did the damage for Falcons — 22/37, 310 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Baker Mayfield has now cleared 250 passing yards in 8 in a row. Through the air: Buccaneers 381, Falcons 310.

Jordan Hayes: "Green Bay had 435 yards and a quarterback throwing 5 touchdown passes—and still lost by 3 because they couldn't establish anything on the ground, gaining just 66 yards while the Bucs leaned into the pass at 87% and got Baker Mayfield to 4 touchdowns anyway. The Pack need to find a way to run the ball effectively or they'll keep leaving points on the field in close ones." Luca Santana: "Eli Stowers made the most of his afternoon—8 catches for 131 yards and 2 touchdowns—and in a game where the Bucs threw 87% of the time on just 41 attempts, that kind of volume and efficiency out of a receiver tells you Tampa Bay has figured out how to get playmakers open even when everybody in the stadium knows it's coming."

Buccaneers 31, Packers 28. Nobody watching sat down. Aaron Rodgers did the damage for Packers — 16/24, 369 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Baker Mayfield was steady for Buccaneers — 25/41, 319 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT. That is 4 straight games over 250 for Baker Mayfield. Total yards: Packers 435, Buccaneers 349.

Daniel Keller: "Tampa Bay passed on 92 percent of plays and still lost to a team that handed the ball off 22 times—the Bucs couldn't run, so they had no margin for error, and 3 interceptions proved there wasn't any." Zoe Bell: "Minnesota won a game it had no business winning—3 interceptions, minus-8 in turnovers on the season, and J.J. McCarthy completing 15 passes. Tampa Bay threw for 399 yards and still lost because 16 rushing yards means you're not really playing football, you're just hoping Baker Mayfield executes a one-dimensional scheme better than the other guy executes chaos."

A 3-point game to the end, and Vikings had it 34-31. Baker Mayfield was steady for Buccaneers — 26/37, 399 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. J.J. McCarthy did the damage for Vikings — 15/23, 228 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT. That is 3 straight games over 250 for Baker Mayfield. Through the air: Buccaneers 399, Vikings 228.

Buccaneers were never troubled, putting Browns away 45-14. Baker Mayfield was steady for Buccaneers — 17/23, 417 yards, 6 TD, 3 INT. Shemar Stewart was the problem for Buccaneers — 3 sacks. Through the air: Buccaneers 417, Browns 92.
