Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield makes NFL history doing something no QB ever has

Not many people expected Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to fly across the country, march into Lumen Field with a roster decimated by injury and take down the 3-1 Seahawks in a thrilling shootout. 

But when Baker Mayfield is your quarterback, you never know what can happen. And on Sunday, that’s exactly what transpired. 

Baker Mayfield has never been the perfect quarterback. His most obvious faults as a quarterback, even during his career renaissance in Tampa Bay over the past couple of seasons, have revolved around his inconsistency when it comes to taking care of the football. 

Well, in 2025, not only is Baker Mayfield taking care of the football, but he’s still generating those signature ‘Baker Mayfield moments’ that have come to define him as a player over the years. Unexpected scrambles to move the chains, laser beam throws through traffic and the ability to rise to the occasion in clutch moments have defined Mayfield’s season thus far.

During the Buccaneers thrilling 38-35 victory over the Seahawks, the best version of Baker Mayfield was on full display. Not only did Baker do his usual 'Baker things', but more importantly, he threw the football with incredible anticipation, accuracy, and consistency — and his team won a crucial road game vs. a legitimate NFC contender because of it.

Baker Mayfield achieved feat no one else has vs. Seahawks

Baker Mayfield's performance was so exceptional in this game that he achieved a feat no other quarterback has in the history of the NFL, throwing for over 375 yards with fewer than 5 completions in a regular-season game.
