Vikings Beat Buccaneers 23-16 but Lose Jefferson to an Ankle Injury. Bucs’ Mayfield Also Hurt
- On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 23-16 to the Minnesota Vikings, with quarterback Baker Mayfield suffering an apparent right thumb injury during the fourth quarter.
- Mayfield sustained the injury while attempting a fourth-and-13 pass under pressure, striking his right thumb against Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman's arm during his follow-through.
- Before exiting, Mayfield completed 17 of 34 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception; undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels replaced him for the final drive.
- Daniels threw an interception on his final drive to seal the loss, dropping the Buccaneers to 0-3 and making them the only winless team in the NFC.
- This 0-3 start marks the Buccaneers' first since 2014, adding pressure after the team signed Mayfield to a $165 million extension just weeks before the season.
