Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has led his team to a significant 32-9 playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, marking his second career playoff win. Mayfield's performance was historic for the franchise as he became the first Buccaneers QB to throw for over 300 yards, specifically 337 yards, and 3 touchdowns in a playoff game, a feat not even achieved by the legendary Tom Brady during his tenure with the team. This win also triggered a $250,000 incentive in Mayfield's contract, with the potential for another $250,000 with a win in their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Buccaneers have been on a winning streak, securing four consecutive victories as underdogs. Mayfield, who has been with four teams over the last 18 months, has now surpassed the Cleveland Browns in playoff wins since 1995, the team he previously led to a playoff win in 2021, and he achieved a 119.8 passer rating in the recent game.
