Cat Scratch Reader on Baker Mayfield

Mayfield faces Panthers as underdog; staff predictions center on his performance as key to Bucs' Week 7 loss.

Mayfield and the Buccaneers face the Panthers as significant underdogs in Week 7; the source characterizes this as "the most-of-Baker Mayfield they'll be playing against on Sunday, led by the owner of the hottest seat in the NFC South in Todd Bowles." Multiple staff predictions center on Mayfield's performance as critical to the game outcome. Walker Clement predicts "the wheels start to come off for both Mayfield and Bowles," while Brian Beversluis specifically calls for "Baker Mayfield has a classic angry game, Panthers lose," suggesting Mayfield's individual performance will be insufficient to overcome the Panthers' current form. The Buccaneers have failed to score 20 points in four of their last five games, and the Panthers offense is rolling.
