Baker Mayfield and Buccaneers face Cleveland Browns in Week
Overview
Following a 33-27 season-opening loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, in which Baker Mayfield struggled with three fumbles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepared for a Week 2 matchup against Mayfield’s former team, the Cleveland Browns.
Ahead of the reunion, former Browns position coach Ken Zampese suggested the Cleveland organization ‘mucked it up’ by trading Mayfield in 2022 to pursue Deshaun Watson. In preparation for the game, Mayfield participated in a lighthearted moment by wearing an undersized Michigan Wolverines tank top after losing a bet to head coach Todd Bowles.
The Week 2 game at Raymond James Stadium took place under hot weather and the threat of thunderstorms. The matchup began as a defensive struggle, with the Buccaneers holding a 6-3 lead following a Chase McLaughlin field goal before the Browns tied the game at 3-3 via an Andre Szymt field goal. The Browns entered the contest with several players on their inactive list, including quarterback Taylen Green and guard Teven Jenkins, who remained out due to a back injury.
