'We're Taking Over the League:' Ohio State's Receiver Pipeline to NFL StardomFrom Terry McLaurin to Emeka Egbuka, here's the inside story of how Ohio State wide receivers became the best college position group in the NFL.
Baker Mayfield completed 28-of-43 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns in the Bucs' 28-23, Week 10 loss to the Patriots.Rather amazingly, the three-touchdown effort was Mayfield's first since Week 1, though score No. 3 came in what amounted to garbage time. He found Tez Johnson twice and Emeka Egbuka once, with the first-round wideout capping the Bucs' opening drive with a 21-yard strike from Mayfield. He leaked out and got lost on the right side of the red zone. Mayfield took only two sacks but absorbed quite a beating as the Bucs lost LG Ben Bredesen. Not as consistent as last season as the Bucs deal with a makeshift skill corps, Mayfield is still making big plays. He's just not stacking them together the way he did in 2024. The Bills are an unideal Week 11 road matchup.
Emeka Egbuka caught 6-of-13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' Week 10 loss to the Patriots.The touchdown was Egbuka's sixth while the 100-yard day was his third. Egbuka's 21-yard score capped the Bucs' opening drive. He leaked out and got lost on the right side of the red zone. Baker Mayfield did not miss. The No. 19 overall pick has proven more than capable of being the opposing team's defensive focal point, and keeps posting big statlines pretty much no matter the opponent or game situation. That should include for Week 11 against the Bills, where shootout conditions will be highly likely to develop.
