Baker Mayfield critical of Buccaneers offense, takes blame

TAMPA, Fla. -- With the screen game sputtering, the deep-ball connection almost non-existent and the ground game once again stuck in neutral, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said bluntly after the Bucs' 20-6 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, "We need to pick our s--- up."

"We sucked today," said Mayfield, who completed 19-of-37 passes for 206 yards and an interception for a total QBR of 22.9. "I sucked today, we sucked today -- it was awful. ... If we play like that, we're gonna lose every time. Defense and special teams did an amazing job yet again, and offense -- we just need to pick our s--- up.
