NFL – Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield angry about interception alert

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at a crossroads this season. That’s why quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is turning over the ball too often, is also being called upon.

Where are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers headed?

That will also depend largely on how quarterback Baker Mayfield presents himself. He got off to a good start in the new NFL season, throwing for 1,164 yards, 11 touchdowns and two interceptions in the first five games. He was accurate, completing 72 percent of his passes.

Since then, the numbers have changed.

In three games, he still threw for a strong ten touchdowns, but also seven interceptions. Two of the three games were lost.

Now, in Week 9, the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs await. A test, a determination of the current situation and a pointer to how things can continue.

This also applies to Mayfield, who was asked about the increased number of turnovers in advance.

“Yes, that bothers me,” said Mayfield. “I don’t want to give up the ball. To me, it’s like shooting our whole team in the foot. That’s not what I want to do, so yes, it makes me angry. Of course, this is something I can fix right away, and I will.”

“It’s a fine line between being aggressive and protecting the football,“ he said.

”When you have your chances, you have to take them, but when they’re not there, you have to play it safe, throw the ball down, get out of the play, get to the next down,” Mayfield said. ‘Being smart with the ball is the most important thing in a game like this.’
