Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has noticed a significant improvement on his team ahead of the 2025 NFL playoffs. Baker Mayfield continues to prove the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that they made the right decision in signing him after Tom Brady’s retirement.

After clinching a playoff spot for the fifth consecutive season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now gearing up for an NFC Wild Card Game with the Washington Commanders. Led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, they secured the No. 3 seed in the conference after finishing the season 10-7 and winning the NFC South Division title.

The Buccaneers' offense has the weapons to take advantage of a Commanders' defense that has been susceptible to giving up points this season. However, the other side of the ball might be what decides this game. And this where Tampa Bay's fatal flaw lies which will likely cost this team the chance of winning its third Super Bowl.
