TAMPA, Fla.- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield passed for 381 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions for a 158.3 rating, the highest attainable mark, in the Buccaneers’ 34-20 win at Green Bay.
Mayfield is the third player with at least 375 passing yards, four touchdown passes, and a 158.3 rating in a road game in NFL history, joining Nick Foles and Ken O’Brien.
Sunday’s victory kept the Buccaneers tied for first place in the NFC South with the New Orleans Saints, who beat the New York Giants on Sunday to improve to 7-7.
“He’s meant everything,” said Head Coach Todd Bowles “From a mental standpoint to a quarterback standpoint, making plays. From a toughness standpoint, from a leadership standpoint, he’s done everything. He’s checked all the boxes. He’s doing all the right things now and I can’t say enough about him.”
“Our team was really prepared to come in here,” said Mayfield. “Just like we talked about, that mentality, a playoff mentality to come in here with just one thing in mind and that was to find a way to win. And we did that. I just couldn’t be happier with this group.”
The Bucs take on the Jaguars on Sunday, December 24th, at Raymond James Stadium.
