Baker Mayfield extends the lead to 23-0 before halftime

It’s been all the Buccaneers through 30 minutes of play at MetLife Stadium.

Baker Mayfield capped a sparkling first half with a 10-yard run into the end zone that ended with him leaping over a tackler for the touchdown. That made the score 23-0, and it was because Caleb McLaughlin missed the extra point.

However, that was almost the only thing that went wrong for the Bucs in the first half.

Mayfield celebrated his touchdown by mimicking Tommy DeVito’s pinched-fingers hand gesture to a crowd that booed the Giants off the field at the end of the half. DeVito was sacked three times and completed three passes while guiding the team to 45 total yards.

Mayfield is 19-of-23 or 230 yards, and he has completed passes for nine different targets. Mike Evans has four catches for 53 yards in his return from a hamstring injury, and Bucky Irving has 87 yards from scrimmage on a day where everything has gone Tampa’s way.
