Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed a golden opportunity to make a statement to the critics that they are the "same old Bucs" (that is to say, closer to average than a Super Bowl contender) by beating a very good New England Patriots team. The Bucs fell short, and Baker Mayfield's own MVP odds took a serious hit, as he was outdueled by fellow MVP candidate Drake Maye on Sunday afternoon.
Mayfield didn't play his best game, but even his haters have to admt that he was dealt a tough hand in Week 10.
