The Tampa Bay Buccaneers win a high-scoring affair with a field goal as time expires to beat the Seattle Seahawks.
What an absolute slugfest fans were treated to from the Seahawks and Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold aired it out early and often, racking up over 700 yards, six touchdowns, and only one interception thrown by Darnold, which proved costly. With 58 seconds left in the game, Darnold threw a pass that deflected off Logan Hall’s helmet and into the hands of Lavonte David. The Buccaneers would run out the clock and kick the winning field goal with no time remaining to win 38-35.
The two wide receivers out of Ohio State came to play on Sunday and capitalized on the excellent quarterback play. The Buccaneers’ star rookie, Emeka Egbuka, finished the game with seven receptions, 163 yards and a touchdown, gaining more praise from Mayfield. “He’s well-rounded, and not just in football but in life. I think he’s grounded, and I think he’s genuine in everything he does. He’s intentional, and you just don’t see that often.” Mayfield said. Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to be the wheel that turns the Seahawks’ offense. He ended the day with eight receptions, 132 yards and a touchdown. He is one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL. Through five games, he has 34 catches, 535 yards and two touchdowns. He is a set-it-and-forget-it fantasy asset.
