The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to get the win in Week 1 of the regular season against the Washington Commanders, and it was due to the fantastic play of their quarterback.
In a recent article by Pro Football Network’s Kyle Soppe , he grades the performances of each quarterback in the league in Week 1 of the season. Baker Mayfield comes out with the highest grade with a 95 out of 100, as Soppe gives him an “A.”
“What didn’t Mayfield do well on Sunday? He posted a 95 overall grade, just missing the A+ threshold and quite possibly the highest grade we see all season long,” Soppe writes. “Only time will tell if Sunday was the start of a career year or simply a reinforcement of the idea that this Washington defense might be as bad as we’ve seen in recent memory.”
Some thought that Mayfield’s great 2023 campaign was a fluke, and that he would be back to disappointing this season. But after Week 1, he is making those people rethink that take.
