There is no love lost between Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield as the two Tampa Bay Buccaneers greats this year traded barbs early in the NFL season.
Brady was in the booth for Mayfield and the Bucs’ game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and mentioned the game of the team with which he won a Super Bowl not so long ago.
Mayfield didn’t look like his usual self, throwing for 116 yards and one touchdown in the Bucs’ 23-20 loss. But on one play late in the fourth quarter, Mayfield single-handedly helped keep Tampa Bay in the game. Pursued by the 49ers’ Nick Bosa, who pulled his left arm, Mayfield scrambled to the sideline and connected with Rachaad White on a fourth-down conversion.
Even Brady was impressed.
“That was ridiculous,” Brady said. “That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen a quarterback make.”

The Bucs (4-6) enter their Week 11 bye on the heels of a disappointing loss, but Mayfield and Co. may have more to be excited about with star player Mike Evans set to return to the field soon.
