Baker Mayfield took it upon himself to inspire the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback rumbled through the Washington Commanders defense late in the second quarter on Sunday.
And his 18-yard run had plenty of attitude.
My goodness, Baker 😳👊

The drive concluded as Mayfield looked for WR Mike Evans. After a pass interference penalty on Marshon Lattimore in the end zone, Mayfield connected with his great WR for a short TD pass.
The score in the NFC wild-card game was tied at the break, 10-10.
Evans and Lattimore have a bitter and nasty rivalry. In the first half, it was all Evans. He had five catches on five targets for 66 yards and a scoee.
