TAMPA, Fla. — Baker Mayfield threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 37-20 rout of the new-look Washington Commanders. The Bucs spoiled the NFL debut of No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels. Daniels was more effective running the ball than passing, scoring a pair of rushing TDs for Washington. Dan Quinn lost his debut as the Commanders' coach. Mayfield completed 24 of 30 passes without an interception, including TD throws of 1 and 17 yards to Mike Evans.
