Mics caught a giddy Baker Mayfield yelling a meme at Chris Godwin after finishing the Eagles off
Baker Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a wonderful story this NFL postseason. We can’t let that get lost in the shuffle of the Philadelphia Eagles’ collapse.
A former No. 1 overall pick, cast off by one of the league’s most inept organizations, taking his new team to the divisional round? What a redemption arc for Mayfield, the steadying force that has the Buccaneers on the verge of another NFC title game appearance.
In a new video from NFL Films, we got more insight into Mayfield’s joy on the field after Tampa Bay upset the Eagles in Monday night’s wild-card game. After launching a bomb downfield to Chris Godwin for the game-icing touchdown, Mayfield’s first reaction was to yell an underrated meme at his receiver.
He’s just like us, folks!
"He's down there somewhere."

Indeed, Godwin was “down there somewhere,” as an elated Mayfield joked. Give your playmakers a shot, and chances are they’ll come through for you. The Buccaneers should carry this sort of carefree attitude into Detroit this weekend. It might be the catalyst for an even deeper playoff run.
