Yahoo Sports NFL on Baker Mayfield

Mayfield's three lost fumbles in Week 1 underscore ball security concerns despite new deal.

Baker Mayfield fumbled the ball three times and lost all three in Week 1 against Cincinnati despite not throwing interceptions; the source notes this ball security issue is why Tampa Bay was hesitant to give him max money on his new 3-year, $165M ($55M per year) deal. The source states Mayfield was both the reason the Buccaneers were in the game and the reason they lost, raising uncertainty about which version Cleveland's defense will face in Week 2.
