Although they did not last long in the playoffs of the 2024 NFL season, Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown that with Baker Mayfield under center, they can always be competitive and a threat to at least the rest of the NFC South division.
The Bucs are fortunate to have found a solid quarterback to run the show on the field for the team’s offense after the retirement of Tom Brady. Not all teams immediately find a long-term answer to their QB spot after the departure of a reliable option, but the Buccaneers seemingly did with Mayfield proving himself worthy.
In 2024, the Buccaneers were among the highest-scoring teams in the league, as they averaged 29.0 points and 393.2 total yards per game, fourth and third overall, respectively. It will be a challenge for them to match, if not surpass, those numbers in 2025, but they have the talent to do it.
Analyst believes in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ attack
Over at Pro Football Focus, Dalton Wasserman identified a reason to feel good about the Buccaneers in 2025, and it’s none other than its Mayfield-led attack.
Wrote Wasserman: “The Buccaneers boast as much offensive talent as any team in the NFL. They ranked among the top nine teams in every category of offensive grading last season except PFF run-blocking grade, where they placed 18th. Every starter returns this season, including quarterback Baker Mayfield, who earned the sixth-highest PFF overall grade among qualified passers last season. The team also fortified its already stacked receiving corps with first-round pick Emeka Egbuka. Expect Tampa Bay to score a ton of points again in 2025.”
Apart from Mayfield and Egbuka, the Bucs have a future Pro Football Hall of Famer in Mike Evans, a healthy Chris Godwin and promising running back Bucky Irving, who all can have Tampa Bay fans dreaming of another high-flying offense in 2025.
