Some NFL players will allow a fan to trash-talk to their heart’s content and not utter a word in reply; Baker Mayfield is not one of them.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is as feisty as they come, and fans should probably be thankful he claims to be a Christian, as the retorts would probably be a lot worse.
Mayfield has come a long way from the flag-planting hubris, having been humbled after making the step up to the pros. He’s reinvented himself in Tampa Bay, with the move breathing life into a career that appeared to be on its last legs.
Having joined the team as a stopgap between Tom Brady and that early first-round pick everyone expected them to go for, Baker has solidified himself as one of the best QBs in the league, taking the Bucs to the playoffs every year..
It appears they’re headed there again at 4-1. Their only loss came against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, though they were thought to have signed a player just to stop the Tush Push.

He then helped his team put together a 38-35 win, throwing 29-of-33 for 379 yards and two touchdowns.
The former Oklahoma star led a clutch drive to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, executing a two-minute drill that ended in an 11-yard Sterling Shepard TD.
The Bucs eventually closed it out, but the fan was not ready to keep quiet after Baker got off the field, yelling, “You still suck,” while Baker ran into the tunnel, still letting him have it.
The 4-1 Buccaneers lead the NFC South and will hope to chuck another W into the bag when they play the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday.
