The talk of the NFL has been quarterback play stemming from Week 1 of the season. One of the stars that is being discussed is the performance of Baker Mayfield in the Buc’s dominant win against the Washington Commanders.
Turns out his performance was more monumental than previously thought.
Mayfield’s dominant performance against the Commanders was the first of its kind since Troy Aikman did it to the same Washington team in 1999. Before the turn of the century, Aikman was able to kick off the season against Washington and threw for five touchdowns in a one-sided win for the Cowboys.
Fast forward 25 years later and we see Mayfield enter the history books.
Bucs fans are hoping It is just the start of things for the team this year and for Mayfield. People are already discussing how composed and relaxed he looks with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen. Having a season long performance of this could lead to a special season for the Bucs and Mayfield.
