How to Watch NFC Divisional Playoffs: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions
Sunday's NFC Divisional Playoff game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions will see two former No. 1 overall picks, quarterbacks Baker Mayfield (Bucs) and Kared Goff (Lions) try to lead their respective teams to the higher point total.
Mayfield has been on something of a hot streak of late. Last week, he became the first Tampa Bay quarterback to record at least 300 passing yards (337) and three touchdown passes (three) in a postseason game. Mayfield has now recorded three touchdown passes in two of his three career playoff starts as he continues to secure a future in Tampa Bay.
If Mayfield records three touchdown passes on Sunday, he will become the third player with at least three touchdown passes in three of his first four career playoff games, joining Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) and Aaron Rodgers (Packers).
Goff hasn't been a slouch so far in the postseason, either. Last week, in a win over the Los Angeles Rams, he completed 22 of 27 pass attempts (81.5 percent) for 277 yards and a touchdown with a 121.8 passer rating, his second-consecutive playoff game with a completion percentage of 75 or higher.
If he completes 75 percent of his passes Sunday against the Bucs, Goff will become the first quarterback in NFL history with a completion percentage of 75 or higher in three consecutive playoff games (minimum 20 attempts per game).
