It was another close win for Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they pulled out another close win against the New York Jets, winning 29-27. The Jets held Mayfield to just one passing touchdown and 233 yards. 

The Buccaneers seemed to control the game until the fourth quarter, when the Jets scored 21 points against Tampa Bay's defense. Tampa Bay attempted a field goal midway through the quarter, but the Jets blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown, putting them up 27-26. Mayfield then drove the Buccaneers down the field, setting up a game-winning field goal that gave Tampa Bay the 29-27 victory.

This win moves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 3-0 record. The Buccaneers and Mayfield will look to extend their streak against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 28, at 12 p.m., broadcast live on Fox.
