Two of the top picks in the 2018 NFL Draft — now-Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (first overall pick) and now-Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (third overall pick) — are looking to lead their respective squads to a 4-1 start in 2025.
Mayfield’s career has taken off since he came to Tampa Bay in 2023: his 77 touchdown passes as as Buccaneer are the most in the entire NFL. Darnold revived his career with the Minnesota Vikings a season ago, and his seven game-winning drives across the last two seasons are tied for the most in the NFL with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
All three of the Buccaneers’ wins have come with a game-winning score in the final of minute. Tampa Bay nearly missed out on doing so in Week 4 against the Eagles, but they turned the ball over on downs. In Seattle’s last game out, the Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 23-20, thanks to a game-winning 52-yard field goal as time expired.
Mayfield’s Buccaneers vs. Darnold’s Seahawks is virtually guaranteed to have a thrilling finish, so stay locked in our live blog below for updates on key plays, expert analysis and highlights.
