Mayfield is said to have decoded the Vikings' defensive signals and communicated his findings to his colleagues during the halftime break of the first game of the season.
With Baker Mayfield at center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings,
the Buccaneers were able to pull off an unexpected victory. It appears that Mayfield was able to catch up
on the defensive signals that the Vikings were using, which may have played a significant factor in the victory.
Mayfield did not have the best day as an individual, as seen by the fact that he threw for only 173 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
However, in the final moments of the game, he made enough plays to ensure victory.
At least according to the starting running back for the Buccaneers, Rachaad White, one of the reasons for this could be
that Mayfield was picking up on the defensive signals that the Vikings were sending.
