What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Bucs beat the Falcons sixteen to nothing in the rain, with minus-two passing yards, the first win like that since the Bills in nineteen seventy-four, Yahoo Sports says.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBaker Mayfield went zero for three and still got a thirty-nine point six passer rating. Kenji, hot take?

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe rating is a participation trophy with a decimal. Three incompletions, a two-yard sack, and the league still hands him a score.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. Somebody got paid for showing up.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Bucs ran for three hundred and twenty-four yards, a franchise record. Kenny Gainwell alone had a hundred and forty on twenty-five carries, so the quarterback was the least useful man in Tampa.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. Coach Bowles said the rain made the call, so Mayfield wasn't useless, he was dry.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDry?

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy hottest take: the rain gets the thirty-nine point six, and it never even watched the film.
