Baker Mayfield struggled before exiting Sunday’s game, completing just nine passes for 41 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.  He suffered a low-grade sprain to his non-throwing shoulder late in the first half and did not return.

His absence crippled the Buccaneers passing attack, dragging down rookie standout Emeka Egbuka, who finished with just three receptions for 32 yards.

The ground game wasn’t any better. After an RB1 breakout in Week 11, Sean Tucker managed just 42 rushing yards from scrimmage as the Buccaneers offense failed to find any rhythm.

Tampa Bay will attempt to rebound in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals.  If Mayfield can’t suit up, veteran Teddy Bridgewater is expected to take over under center, a downgrade for the entire offense from a fantasy perspective.
