You want to know why Baker Mayfield’s teammates like him so much? Well, he hustles and he wins, that helps.
But Mayfield really doesn’t have an ego. He has just as much fun going to a Rays game and having a few beers with his offensive line as he does relaxing at a neighborhood watering hole with his receivers or linebackers.
Mayfield seems like he can relate to everyone on the roster.
So yesterday, Joe is confident all of Mayfield’s teammates heard him as he gave thanks to the etnire active roster for the way everyone pitched in to get a landmark win in Detroit.
Linebacker SirVocea Dennis had just as much of an impact as Lavonte David. Christian Izien had as much impact as Jordan Whitehead. Greg Gaines had as much impact as Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.
“Yeah, for starters, having a bunch of guys out, a lot of guys stepping up in a huge way, and for it to come down to critical moments in a really tight ball game and people – everybody stepping up is so big for everybody on this team,” Mayfield said. “To stick together, obviously a bigger outcome than the last time we were here like you mentioned, but it’s a new season.
“Still have a lot of games left, but for us, building chemistry and building this resiliency and the culture that we want, this is a huge win for us, and so we have to continue to build on that.”
Again, Joe thinks the last time the Bucs had so many different players making an impact in the game on the defensive side of the ball was the Bucs’ Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.
Only yesterday it was backups making plays right and left, not the stars.
LET HIM BAKE 🔥
