The Washington Commanders are thriving! It appears they are resolute in their quest to bring the Super Bowl back. In the past, the Atlanta Falcons faded into insignificance, and currently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are experiencing a downturn, utterly perplexed.
Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers’ quarterback, warns Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell to be alert for the Commanders in play
“Baker explains that paying attention to all the small details will ultimately catch up to you in playoff mode.”
QB Mayfield aimed for the Super Bowl similar to what his franchise achieved in the 2000 NFL season – yet it appears that 2024 wasn’t his year to excel.
In addressing the media about his loss, he stated, “This evening showcased a prime instance of capitalizing offensively on what the defense provided us.”
Delivering a message to Dan’s Lions, Mayfield went on in the interview, “You need to halt them…check if they aren’t attempting to move the defense to change.”
The latter half was when all the defeats occurred. Quarterback Baker stated, “When you fail to handle all the small details correctly, it will inevitably haunt you in playoff situations, as you consistently face strong teams, and they will take advantage of any mistakes, which they did.

During the initial half of the wild card matchup, the Bucs were ahead with a score of 3-0. However, in the second quarter, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels connected with wide receiver Dyami Brown for a 10-yard TD pass, updating the score to 7-3.
Discussing this chaotic NFL match, Mayfield expresses, “Experiencing a loss like this is very disappointing since it feels out of control; there were chances to take advantage of several situations.” “You might have navigated the fields, scored points, used up plenty of time, and gained the advantage…we failed to do that.”
Baker Mayfield takes all the Blame
When Baker expressed faith in the new players on the Bucs roster who took on significant roles this season, the interviewer queried QB Baker Mayfield, “Will you extend that same kindness to yourself?” “You are hard on yourself.”
Baker states, “Likely no.” Some foolish mistakes today affected the team, so it’ll bother me for a bit. It’s disheartening because I have faith in this team, and I continue to, but each year varies, and the roster will change. The unfortunate aspect of this team is that it had the potential to succeed fully, but sadly, we didn’t perform at our best tonight, while Washington did
