The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their offense, led by coordinator Liam Coen, have been fun to watch week to week in 2024. They have had some highs in most weeks but the offensive line and running game have let things down at other times.
The one constant this season has been Baker Mayfield’s near MVP-level play for this Bucs’ offense. Because of that, he leads the NFL in a very interesting stat heading into Week 6 of the season.
PFF has gotten deeper stats from various areas since its inception. One of the areas they track Is how quarterbacks perform against the blitz, and the Bucs’ quarterback leads the NFL in performing against such situations.
That speaks to Mayfield’s ability to process what is coming his way and what Liam Coen is designing for plays. It is a two-way street for success between a quarterback and his coordinator.
It shows how well they have worked together through just six weeks together.
