Baker Mayfield has three turnovers and two TD passes as the Bucs lead 14-10 at halftime

The Buccaneers led 14-0 after their first two drives, with Baker Mayfield throwing two touchdown passes. After three Mayfield turnovers, they now only lead 14-10.

Mayfield began his day going 8 of 9 for 92 yards and two touchdowns on drives of 85 and 52 yards. He finished the first half 5 of 10 for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He also lost a fumble.

On the Bucs’ last four possessions of the first half, they had three turnovers and one three-pointer.

K’Lavon Chaisson and Jack Jones each intercepted Mayfield, and Tre’von Moehrig recovered a Mayfield fumble forced by Amari Burney. The Raiders converted Moehrig’s fumble recovery into a field goal, and Jones’ pick in the end zone in the final seconds of the second half prevented the Bucs from gaining a larger halftime lead.

It was the Raiders’ decision to attack Mayfield after he picked them apart on the first two drives that changed the momentum. The Raiders have three sacks and five quarterback hits.

The Bucs defeated the Raiders 218 to 103, with Mayfield going 13 of 19 for 170 yards with touchdown throws to Rachaad White and Jalen McMillan. White has eight carries for 51 yards and two catches for 19 yards.

Aidan O’Connell scored a touchdown and is 6 of 11 for 70 yards. Sincere McCormick rushed for 40 yards on six carries. Brock Bowers only has one catch for 12 yards.

The Raiders had to settle for a field goal in the red zone after failing to get into the end zone after reaching the Tampa Bay 6. That’s the difference in the game so far.

Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield (knee) has been ruled out.
