Buccaneers Set to Start Undrafted Rookie Jalon Daniels Against Steelers Despite Mayfield's Recovery

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to start undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 18, despite veteran Baker Mayfield making progress in his recovery from a dislocated thumb. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that while Mayfield is pushing to return, the team will evaluate his grip this week, with Daniels currently viewed as the starter. Daniels recently led the Buccaneers to their first win of the season, completing 19 of 25 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown in a 24-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The win, which featured a strong rushing performance by Bucky Irving, has boosted confidence in the rookie's ability to handle the starting role. Mayfield, who signed a lucrative extension before the season, has missed two games and is expected to return soon, but the team is prioritizing stability with Daniels for the upcoming week.

Bucs' Daniels Win Highlights Surprising 8-4 Record for Backup QBs

Bucs' Daniels Win Highlights Surprising 8-4 Record for Backup QBs

Jalon Daniels led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys, extending a notable trend where NFL teams are 8-4 when starting backup quarterbacks this season. Daniels, an undrafted rookie, secured the No. 2 role behind Baker Mayfield earlier in the preseason and has now won one of two starts. The broader league data shows that backup quarterbacks have outperformed expectations, with teams winning twice as many games as they lose when starters are unavailable. Only the Atlanta Falcons have failed to win at least one game with a backup, going 0-2 with third-stringer Cooper Rush. This success suggests that losing a starting quarterback is not necessarily a disaster for NFL teams this season.

Packers Survive Bucs Upset Bid Despite Self-Inflicted Offense

The Green Bay Packers secured a 17-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, reaching a 2-2 record despite significant offensive struggles. The win was largely attributed to defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s adjustments and safety Evan Williams’ critical late-game pressures. However, the Packers’ offense continued to suffer from self-inflicted errors, including multiple fumbles, dropped passes, and penalties, which nearly cost them the game against an undrafted rookie quarterback. The Buccaneers, now 0-4, failed to convert a late drive due to protection issues, marking their first loss to a team with a winning record this season.
