From the episode

Baker historically has not been as effective against man. Flores, you're hardly going to see any man at all. So there's going to be a ton of zone here. There's going to be opportunities for Baker downfield.

Mayfield faces Dolphins' zone-heavy defense after struggling vs. man coverage historically

Baker Mayfield has historically struggled against man coverage, but faces the Dolphins' Brian Flores defense which runs very little man and predominantly zone. This creates downfield opportunities for Mayfield and the Buccaneers offense, making this a favorable matchup after Tampa Bay's Week 1 struggles.
