Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense looked like a well oiled machine in their first regular season game of 2024.
That’s exactly how many days it’s been since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last played a meaningful football game.
This front office regime hasn’t only excelled when it comes to building a competent roster, but also in developing a culture that players want to be a part of. As a result, the Bucs were able to retain all of their most important players, each of whom would have had the opportunity to play almost anywhere they wanted.Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, Antoine Winfield Jr., Lavonte David, and Tristan Wirfs all signed new contracts to run it back with the Buccaneers.
The Bucs’ offense couldn’t take advantage though, and despite an impressive 24-yard reception by Mike Evans to put the Bucs just outside of the red zone, the offense had to settle for another Chase McLaughlin field goal after a holding penalty on Trey Palmer halted the drive.With the first quarter winding down, a 17-yard scramble by Jayden Daniels on third down highlighted a Commanders’ drive that saw them move the ball beyond midfield for the first time.
The party didn’t last long though. Jayden Daniels orchestrated an efficient, run-centric TD drive, which was aided by a questionable flag thrown on Antoine Winfield Jr. for making helmet-to-helmet contact with Daniels on a run up the middle. Just a few plays later, Brian Robinson Jr. scampered into the end zone from 8 yards out to tighten the deficit.
