"He should be in the film room!": Bucs fans outraged as Baker Mayfield takes the stage with Hulk Hogan at Morgan Wallen concert

Bucs fans outraged as Baker Mayfield takes the stage with Hulk Hogan at Morgan Wallen concert

Primetime Kirk Cousins made sure the Tampa Bay Buccaneers left Georgia without a win as the Atlanta Falcons quarterback threw for 509 yards and four (!!!) touchdowns to pick up the franchise's third win of the season.

And so, the Buccaneers left Atlanta with a 3-2 record after impressing in the first four weeks of the season. It appears Baker Mayfield already had plans upon returning to Tampa. Footage emerged of the Bucs QB taking the stage at a Morgan Wallen concert alongside controversial WWE legend Hulk Hogan.

Mayfield's appearance alongside the WWE icon didn't sit well with a section of NFL fans, who took to social media platform X to voice their outrage.

"This is not good for Baker," one fan wrote.
"Lost some respect for Baker," another added.
"Didn’t baker just lose to the Falcons? Should be in the lab studying film," a third fan wrote.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' schedule in the spotlight

While a few teams have a bye week coming up, Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers will have to wait a while before they get a breather. After falling to a 36-30 loss to the Falcons in overtime, the Bucs will look to pick up the pieces when they take on the New Orleans Saints next Sunday. The Saints showdown kicks off a dramatic set of games for Tampa Bay.

After facing New Orleans, they will go up against the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers before finally settling in for a bye week in Week 11.

Sportskeeda's NFL Playoff Predictor has the Buccaneers racking up 11 wins when all is said and done and comfortably booking their place in the NFL Playoffs.

While the predictor is a little high on the Minnesota Vikings, going by the current trajectory, we will likely see one of Detroit, Atlanta, Tampa Bay or potentially Dallas on top of the NFC standings with a first-round bye in the playoffs.

The Bucs' schedule also gets a little easier after the bye week so it's possible they come out all guns firing after a week of rest.
