Baker Mayfield and Buccaneers looking to snap losing streak

Tampa Bay is now in second place in the NFC South, trailing the Atlanta Falcons by two games. Ahead of the Buccaneers' tough game against the 49ers, Mayfield spoke about what the team needs to do better.

"It's just – obviously, singular game focus, but knowing that the Bye Week is after this one is going to be a huge help for us to get some guys back but yeah," Mayfield said. "Offensively, and I'll just speak on that – you know, I mentioned it after the game, leaving three points [on the field] before halftime is a huge thing.

"That goes back to in the weeks prior, the turnovers I had in the red zone or past the 50 [yard-line] – making sure we're doing everything we can on offense to not leave points out there. That's what we're focused on is finishing drives, still trying to find some ways to get explosives… We're doing a good job of driving the ball on everybody but need to finish, need to find more explosives as well.

The Buccaneers are 6.5-point underdogs at home against San Francisco on Sunday.
