Baker Mayfield faces Lions quarterback Jared Goff, also a former No. 1-overall pick who needed a change of scenery to resurrect his career, on Sunday.
Giants need defense to come up big to pull off upset over favored BillsIf you had Baker Mayfield as the leading contender for NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2023, raise your hand.
That makes the matchup Sunday between the Bucs and Lions in Tampa particularly intriguing, because it pits Mayfield against Detroit quarterback Jared Goff, a former No. 1-overall pick who also needed a change of scenery to resurrect his career. Under the guidance of Goff, the Lions are one of the league’s highest scoring teams. They are averaging 29.6 points and are in the midst of a team-record stretch of 14 consecutive games in which they have scored 20 or more points. Goff leads the NFL with 23 completions of 20-plus yards.“He is the engine that makes it go over there,’’ Bowles said this week of Goff. “He’s not turning the ball over, throwing touchdowns, commanding the offense. He was always very accurate. He is a competitor.
Mayfield was essentially given away to Carolina for a fifth-round draft pick in the 2022 offseason. After he was waived by the Panthers in December, Mayfield had a brief stint with the Rams before he signed with the Bucs in free agency this past offseason.There’s an element to the Mayfield story that is similar to what Geno Smith did as a reclamation project in Seattle.
