Bucs' Baker Mayfield struggles under pressure against Vikings defense

In a challenging matchup on September 29, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggled offensively against the Minnesota Vikings, culminating in a 20-16 score. Baker Mayfield was sacked six times and faced significant pressure, leading to a performance of 17 completions on 34 attempts, 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Buccaneers' offensive line, expected to be a strength, allowed multiple penalties, including five holding calls that stalled offensive momentum. Mayfield dislocated his right thumb on a late-game interception attempt, which will sideline him for at least three weeks. His tendency to extend plays contributed to the struggles, as timing issues with receivers were evident throughout the game.
