Baker Mayfield threw four touchdowns but was also intercepted three times as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shut out the New Orleans Saints in the second half in a 51-27 win.
After blowing a 17-0 lead and falling behind 27-24 at half-time, the Bucs rallied in the second half as Mayfield’s short pass to Chris Godwin was turned into a 55-yard score by the receiver.
Mayfield then found tight end Cade Otton for his fourth touchdown pass of the day and ended with a total of 325 yards through the air, with Bucky Irving running for 81 yards and a touchdown in a high-scoring contest.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
