Bucs QB Baker Mayfield praises Chris Godwin’s hot start to the season

Chris Godwin’s consistency through three games has been praised by his quarterback.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to a 2-1 start. Their Week 4 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Despite their crushing 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos last week, the Bucs still have many positives to take away as the first month of the regular season comes to a close. One of those main reasons has been wide receiver Chris Godwin’s incredible start to the 2024 season.

Godwin scored in each of the Bucs’ first three games this season, which is a consistent part of their offense. Quarterback Baker Mayfield alluded to Godwin’s high football IQ.

“The number of years they’ve done it in a row, and Chris is reliable. [You] say it enough – it’s how smart he is, understanding the defense and the coverages, understanding what we’re trying to get done within our own concepts and [he’s] a guy that is all about winning. He’s playing really well, [he] feels good [and] we have to keep him going.”

Mayfield, Godwin, and the rest of the Bucs offense will have a chance to get things back on track this week against a weak Eagles secondary.
