The Bucs’ offense has had its fair share of ups and downs, but in Week 6, they may have finally found their footing. No pun intended, of course, but Baker Mayfield and his footwork were a mess, and so was the offense early on.
One player who helped him settle down, though, was Chris Godwin.
He peppered Godwin with targets early and often, letting him be creative and do the heavy lifting for him. Mike Evans was the focus of everyone early on, as he usually is against the Saints and Marshon Lattimore.
The play design allowed Godwin to create with space, and he did.
He finished with 11 receptions for 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Of his 125 yards, 105 of them came after the catch. They had him working out of the slot and catching checkdowns, but he was not settling for anything against the Saints.
The results were him filling the box score and the Bucs putting 51 points on the board.
