Baker Mayfield takes second NFC offensive player of the week in last three weeks

The Buccaneers will be the NFC North champs if they beat the Saints in Week 18 and quarterback Baker Mayfield’s play last Sunday is a big reason why they’re in that position.

Mayfield threw a touchdown pass to end the first Bucs possession against the Panthers and he went on to throw four more of them over the course of their 48-14 win. It was the second time that Mayfield threw five touchdown passes in a game and he finished the day 27-of-32 for 359 yards.

The NFL announced on Tuesday that he’s been named the NFC offensive player of the week in recognition of that performance. He took the same prize after throwing four touchdowns in a Week 15 win over the Chargers and he’s won the weekly award six times in his career.

Mayfield has already set career highs in passing yards and passing touchdowns. Adding to them against the Saints will help the Bucs secure their second division title in as two years with Mayfield running the offense.
