Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Another pristine effort in win

Mayfield completed 30 of 47 passes for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Analysis:

Mayfield's numbers tell the tale of yet another highly efficient afternoon for the veteran in coordinator Liam Coen's offense, and the 2018 first overall pick was especially surgical during a first half when the Buccaneers racked up 24 first-half points. Mayfield connected with eight different targets overall on the afternoon, hitting Mike Evans and Trey Palmer (concussion) for first-quarter touchdown passes of two and 15 yards, respectively. Mayfield then added his own one-yard scoring rush in the second quarter, and his trio of trips to the end zone Sunday give him 10 total touchdowns through four games. Mayfield won't have to wait long to add to that tally, as the Buccaneers face off with the Falcons in a Week 5 Thursday night divisional battle.
