Mayfield's extension not rewarded; 0 passing TDs, costly fumble in Week 1 loss

Despite signing a hefty four-year extension with the Buccaneers earlier in the week, Mayfield underperformed in Week 1 against Cincinnati. He finished with no passing touchdowns, an ADoT of 4.7 (indicating short, conservative passing), and a costly fumble returned for a touchdown. His rushing touchdown kept the game close, but the offense's sloppy execution (4 lost fumbles total) cost Tampa Bay the game.
