Former teammates, now productive QBs Mayfield and Darnold to face off when Bucs visit Seahawks
October 2, 2025
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in a matchup of quarterbacks who struggled with the teams that drafted them before reviving their careers. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold were teammates with Carolina in 2022. Now Mayfield has the Bucs at 3-1 and the Seahawks have the same record in Darnold’s first year as their QB. Mayfield says he’s “really close” with Darnold. The Bucs come into the game dealing with numerous injuries on both sides of the ball. The Seahawks will try to make it easier on Darnold by getting their running game going.
