Baker Mayfield Shocks Raiders With Game-Winning 98-Yard TD Drive on 'TNF'

Baker Mayfield Shocks Raiders With Game-Winning 98-Yard TD Drive on 'TNF'


BAKER MAYFIELD SAYS HE BOOKED FLIGHT TO LOS ANGELES BEFORE BEING CLAIMED

NFL fans may have seen the beginning of the Baker Mayfield resurgence on
Thursday night, as the new Rams quarterback led the team back from a 16–3
deficit to beat the Raiders in the closing seconds, just over three days after
he was released by the Panthers.

Mayfield showed very few signs of having limited time with his new team’s
playbook as he engineered two fourth quarter touchdown drives to give Los
Angeles a 17–16 victory over Las Vegas. The highlight came with just 10 seconds
remaining when he delivered a pinpoint pass to Van Jefferson for a game-winning
23-yard score.

Carolina released Mayfield on Monday at the quarterback’s own request, following
a disappointing tenure that saw the Panthers fire Matt Rhule and flip-flop
between signal-callers throughout the first 13 weeks of the season. The move
sent the former No. 1 pick to the waiver wire, where all of the other 31 teams
had a chance to claim him. The Rams, positioned as the No. 4 team in the waiver
order, ultimately won out.

Though it was not certain thing where Mayfield would end up, the 27-year-old
said after Thursday’s 17–16 victory that he had an inkling that the Rams would
claim him before Tuesday’s waiver deadline. So much so, that he made travel
arrangements before the day’s waivers were processed. 

“I took a gamble, I booked the flight before the waiver wire went through,”
Mayfield told the Amazon Prime postgame crew.

Mayfield’s bet surely paid off in more ways than one. The Rams claimed the
fifth-year veteran on Tuesday afternoon and were able to incorporate him into
the offense enough to have him engineer a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback
just 48 hours later.

Mayfield finished his first game a Ram 22-of-35 passing for 230 yards and a
touchdown—the game-winning strike Jefferson. With starter Matthew Stafford on
injured reserve for the time being, Mayfield is well-positioned to build upon
his awe-inspiring debut in Los Angeles over the next few weeks.
