Buccaneers Defeat Raiders 28-13, Mayfield Shines

Baker Mayfield led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 28-13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, throwing for 295 yards and three touchdowns, including two to rookie Jalen McMillan.

Despite his strong performance, Mayfield had a tumultuous first half with three turnovers that kept the game close early on. The Raiders, now with a nine-game losing streak at 2-11, suffered a significant blow as quarterback Aidan O'Connell was carted off due to a knee injury following a late hit that went unpenalized.

The Buccaneers' defense capitalized on Raiders' mistakes, including a crucial fumble recovery that led to a touchdown.
