Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had two touchdown passes in a 20-6 win over the Tennessee Titans to break up a four-game losing streak.
Baker Mayfield threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns Sunday to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stop a four-game losing streak with a 20-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Rachaad White turned a first-quarter screen pass into a 43-yard TD. Mike Evans redeemed himself from dropping a pass in the end zone with a 22-yard scoring catch and finished with six receptions for 143 yards for the Bucs .
week after yielding five TD passes and an NFL rookie record 470 yards through the air to Houston's C.J. Stroud, the Bucs' defense fared much better against another first-year quarterback, Will Levis, who was sacked four times and intercepted once while failing to get his team into the end zone. Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes and shrugged off a first-quarter interception to end Tampa Bay's longest skid since 2019.
Nick Folk kicked field goals of 38 and 35 yards for the Titans, who haven't won a road game since a prime-time victory at Green Bay last Nov. 17. Levis fell to 1-2 as a starter. In his three starts, the 33rd overall pick has thrown for 699 yards, four TDs and two interceptions. Evans' TD catch put the Bucs up 17-3 late in the third quarter. He caught the ball at the Titans 5 and dragged cornerback Kristian Fulton into the end zone.
Titans: With LT Nicholas Petit-Frere already out after being placed on injured reserve, the Titans played without two starting offensive linemen. RG Daniel Brunskill was ruled out earlier in the week. Backup Andre Dillard started in place of Petit-Frere but left in the second quarter with a concussion. CB Sean Murphy-Bunting was also inactive. LB Chance Campbell, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad, was injured during pregame warmups.
Titans: Remain on the road next Sunday against AFC South rival Jacksonville, finishing a stretch of three consecutive games away from Nashville. Buccaneers: Play four of their next five on the road, beginning at San Francisco next Sunday.
