• Baker Mayfield shines: The Buccaneers quarterback completed 24 of his 30 attempts (80.0%) for 289 yards (9.6 yards per attempt), four touchdowns and zero interceptions in a statement win over the Washington Commanders in Week 1.
• Hang that Anthony Richardson throw in a museum: Richardson was pressured on only 25.0% of his dropbacks in Week 1, which was actually the sixth-lowest rate among quarterbacks in Week 1. He looked poised enough when the pressure did come, though, completing two of his four attempts for 73 yards. Of course, most of that passing yardage came from one play, an absurd 60-yard heave off his back foot as he fell away from a collapsing pocket.
