Baker Mayfield an the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 17. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Mayfield has impressed his new team with what he hasn’t done on the field rather than dazzling statistics.

Turnovers and poor decisions in the pocket have hampered the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 draft throughout his pro career, however Mayfield has done a nice job of taking care of the football since joining the Bucs on a one-year contract that could be worth up to $8.5 million.

That includes a turnover-free preseason, followed by a solid regular-season debut in which he also avoided costly mistakes to help Tampa Bay (1-0) launch the post-Tom Brady era with a 20-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Next up is a test against Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears (0-1), who visit Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.

While Mayfield didn’t post big numbers in Tampa Bay’s opener, the sixth-year pro who spent four seasons with the Cleveland Browns before splitting 2022 between the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams does have the attention of the Bears.

Mayfield shrugged off an ugly first half to finish 21 of 34 passing for 173 yards and two touchdowns without an interception against Minnesota. He also used his legs, putting his body at risk to help set up a fourth-quarter field goal giving Tampa Bay the lead for good.

Fields, meanwhile, looks to rebound from a 38-20 loss to Green Bay. The young quarterback felt he played “a little bit too conservative” against the Packers, settling for screens and swing passes rather than trying to make plays downfield.

Considering the Bears are counting on him to grow as a passer, it was an ominous start to his third season.

Fields was 24 of 37 for 216 yards and one touchdown. He was also sacked four times, lost a fumble and had an interception returned for a TD.
