Mayfield completed 8 of his nine passes for 63 yards and a score in the game. After He was in, John Wolford and Kyle Trask finished the game with 27 additional passes.
The Buccaneers’ run game was pretty poor, with Chase Edmonds rushing six times for 18 yards to lead the way. Taye Barber got one carry that went for 13 yards. In the receiving game, the Buccaneers used David Moore, Kaylon Geiger, and Trey Palmer for a combined 11 receptions for over 100 yards and a score. Palmer was the lone touchdown receptionist.
Tampa Bay will start the 2023 regular season on the road at the Minnesota Vikings. After that, the Buccaneers will be at home against the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles.
Jets Rejuvenated!
For the New York Jets, after the 21-16 loss to the Browns, the 27-0 win over the Panthers was a breath of fresh air. Now, the Jets are at home for the first time. In the win, Zach Wilson was pretty solid; his NFL Player Stats have him going 14 of 20 for 123 yards and a score. Tim Boyle came in and was strong, too, with two touchdown passes.
The big news this week for the New York Jets players was the addition of Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall back to the active roster. Those guys should get opportunities as the season goes along. In preseason play, Israel Abanikanda has been fairly strong. He carried the football 12 times in the win over Carolina. Between adding them and Rodgers to the roster, can the quarterback be part of the NFL MVP Odds discussion?
The Jets play the final game of Week 1. They have the Monday Night Football game against divisional rival Buffalo.
