Baker Mayfield News: Scuffles in Week 7 loss

Mayfield completed 28 of 50 passes for 228 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Mayfield went into the game with both Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka available despite their respective hamstring injuries, but he ended up losing the former to a shoulder injury -- which Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports was subsequently diagnosed as a broken collarbone -- and a concussion in the first half. Mayfield had already been struggling to get the ball to Evans considering the pass on which he suffered the pair of injuries was his fourth target without a catch, and the veteran signal-caller displayed only modest improvement over the rest of the night even though the Lions were playing with an extremely short-handed secondary. Mayfield saw a two-game interception-less streak come to an end as well on a controversial play that originally appeared to be a Cade Otton reception, and it remains to be seen if he'll at least have Chris Godwin (fibula) at his disposal to help offset the loss of Evans in a Week 8 road matchup versus the Saints on Sunday.
