"The Buccaneers dropped to 6-5 with a heavy 34-7 defeat to the now 9-2 Rams, a game in which Mayfield did not play the second half. Mayfield stayed down after attempting a Hail Mary at the end of the first half, having earlier been examined following his second-quarter touchdown throw to Tez Johnson. Teddy Bridgewater played in relief of Mayfield, who is set for further scans to determine the severity of the injury."
""He knows what to do," Bowles added of Bridgewater. "Obviously, we've got to protect him a lot better. Not the ideal situation to be in when they've got a big lead and they've got their ears pinned back every play. But he performed well under pressure. Teddy will play if [Mayfield is] out for some time. Obviously, we'll bring up Connor [Bazelak] from [the practice squad] and we'll go from there.""
Baker Mayfield suffered a shoulder sprain after attempting a Hail Mary late in the first half and did not play the second half. Tampa Bay lost 34-7 to the Los Angeles Rams and fell to 6-5 while the Rams improved to 9-2. Mayfield was examined following his second-quarter touchdown to Tez Johnson and is scheduled for an MRI to assess the injury. Teddy Bridgewater relieved Mayfield, completing eight of 15 passes for 62 yards in his first NFL action since 2022. Head coach Todd Bowles expressed confidence in Bridgewater, noted the need for better protection, and said the team may elevate Connor Bazelak from the practice squad.
