"Baker Brady", "WTF did we just watch" - NFL players salute Baker Mayfield after Rams QB engineers Tom Brady-like comeback in win vs. Raiders

Baker Mayfield, take a bow! In his Thursday Night Football debut for the Los Angeles Rams against the Las Vegas Raiders, the former Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers quarterback won the day. He led his team from 13 points down with under four minutes left in the fourth quarter to an improbable and incredible 17-16 win.

Mayfield engineered a 98-yard game-winning touchdown drive with under two minutes on the clock and no timeouts. He guided the Rams to a thrilling victory just two days after being claimed on waivers. The former first-overall pick threw two incredible passes during the game-winning drive; first to wide receiver Ben Skowronek and then a touchdown pass to Van Jefferson:

NFL players were in awe of Mayfield's unbelievable debut and paid their homage to the quarterback on social media after the Rams' win:

NBA superstars Ja Morant and James Harden were also in awe of Mayfield's incredible performance late in the game against the Raiders:

Baker Mayfield pulls off a Tom Brady-like comeback

Baker Mayfield's wild comeback mirrored Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wild comeback against the New Orleans Saints on Monday. With 3:03 left in the fourth quarter, the Buccaneers trailed 16-3. However, Brady engineered two game-winning drives in the final three minutes to help Tampa pull off an incredible upset win over the Saints.

Mayfield's heroics were a replica of Brady's from Monday night, however, the Rams quarterback's performance was probably better as he had only one practice session with the team and only two days to learn the playbook.

Baker Mayfield did not start the game. Backup quarterback John Wolford was under center for the Rams' first drive of the night before the newcomer took over in the second. Replacing Wolford with Mayfield was a masterstroke for Sean McVay and the Rams' coaching staff, as he helped them avoid slipping to 3-10.

Los Angeles will still miss the postseason, but the team may have found their new backup quarterback. It's possible he could even be the one leading the offense if Matthew Stafford walks away from the sport at the end of the season. The likelihood, however, is that Mayfield will be at another franchise, although who that will be is anyone's guess.

If he continues winning games, his future as a starter will at least be assured.
