NFL Week 1 Recap: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 37, Washington Commanders 20

All eyes were on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels in this matchup, but it was Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield who stole the show, leading his team to a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 1.

Mayfield was sharp throughout, completing 23 of 29 passes for 257 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions. He added a big-time throw and avoided any turnover-worthy plays.

Daniels, however, had a notable debut, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 80 yards and score two rushing touchdowns in his first career start.
