Mayfield's second-half decline cost Bucs playoff spot; must bounce back in 2026.

Mayfield was not good enough in the second half of 2025, with accuracy problems, decision-making lapses, and overall play decline contributing to Tampa Bay's late-season collapse and playoff miss. He must get back on track in 2026 for the Bucs to make noise in the postseason.
