NEW YORK — Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 15, now earning the recognition four times in his career.

Mayfield became the ninth quarterback in team history to win Offensive Player of the Week and the first player since Tom Brady won it in Week 5 of the 2021 season.

Mayfield had an incredible performance at Lambeau Field on Sunday. He completed 22-of-28 passes for 381 yards and four touchdowns, with no interceptions, earning the first 158.3 passer rating of his career.
