The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are fighting for their lives against the Detroit Lions’ pass rush, which means Baker Mayfield has had to improvise.
His latest improvisation was an extended play in which he had to maneuver around the pocket. With pressure closing, Mayfield decided to keep it and run it in for a touchdown from 11 yards out.
That 11-yard touchdown run for the former number-one overall pick was the longest of his NFL career.
Mayfield’s score put the Bucs up 16-13 over the Lions as they entered the fourth quarter. As we mentioned, the pressure has been high on Mayfield all game, specifically from Aidan Hutchison of the Detroit Lions.
As things stand presently, the Bucs are missing Luek Goedeke today as they have surrendered five sacks to Hutchison alone.
