Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 18 of 32 passes for 243 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions versus the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

Why It Matters: After riding the running game the past two weeks, during which Mayfield completed just seven passes, the Bucs needed more from their passing attack on Sunday night. They didn't get it. Mayfield struggled to make plays and got little help from his receivers. In six starts this season, the former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 115 yards and 0.5 TDs per game, which is comically low production. He also has more INTs than TDs -- that includes a pick-six against Chicago that wound up being critical. While Mayfield is better than his numbers would suggest, he's at best
a low-end QB2, and even that is based purely on the belief that Tampa's passing game will improve as the season wears on.
