Baker Mayfield stresses the significance of their upcoming Bye Week

Players, especially Baker Mayfield, know how important the timing of the Bye Week is for everyone. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been on a tough stretch in recent weeks and are heading into their Bye Week, having lost four straight games. Just a few weeks ago, the team was atop the NFC South, and now they are just one game away from being at the bottom.

Players, especially Baker Mayfield, know how important the timing of the Bye Week is for everyone.

Speaking to the media post-game, Baker Mayfield preached the importance of taking the Bye Week to get healthy as a team. He also mentioned that the Bucs have the fight and will to win; they just have to show it.

Last week, it was Todd Bowles saying that the team can get used to losing but the play is showing they have been complacent. A bye week coming right now is perfect in more ways than one and as Mayfield points out, getting healthy is step one in correcting things.
