Baker Mayfield giveth, and Baker Mayfield taketh away.
That was the lesson for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in Charlotte, as the bottom appears ready to fall out on a forgettable season.
One of the things that doomed the Bucs on Sunday was a bad throw by Baker Mayfield at the worst possible time. He had been willing the team back into a potential comeback victory when he threw a game-sealing interception as Tampa Bay was driving into field goal range.
Baker was looking for Mike Evans, who peeled off in the opposite direction, which allowed the pass to sail into the waiting arms of Lathan Ransom to end the comeback bid.
