Baker Mayfield Making a Case for NFL MVP: A Closer Look at the Numbers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is making a strong case for NFL MVP this season. Despite not having the flashy headlines or win totals of other top contenders like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, Mayfield’s numbers speak for themselves. He ranks third in passing yards, first in completion percentage, tied for second in passing touchdowns, and has the fourth best passer rating in the league.

Mayfield’s performance has been crucial for the Buccaneers, who are sitting at 9-7 and hoping to make a playoff push. His play on offense has been invaluable, especially with the team facing injuries on defense throughout the season. Despite some critics pointing to the Bucs’ easy schedule and Mayfield’s turnovers, his impact on the team’s success cannot be denied.

Even Mayfield’s teammates, like All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs, are advocating for him to be considered for the MVP award. While he may be a long shot to win, there is no denying that Mayfield has been playing at an MVP level this season.
