When things get tough, like Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it takes a little something to get things out of the way.
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield appeared to grab a ZYN nicotine pouch and put it in his mouth while sitting on the bench to start the third quarter of what was still a close game against the Ravens.
Mayfield may have finished using this pouch during the play, as the Ravens started the second half with the ball and went on a drive that spanned a total of 2:40 of game time and ended in a field goal.
we all remember those days Keith Hernandez smoking a cigarette He was in the dugout as a first baseman for the Mets in the late 1980s, but this was a different era.
Mayfield became the team's leader in his second season in Tampa Bay after leading the team to the NFC South title a year ago.
However, ZYN Pouch was of no use in the second half as the team looked like it was going to collapse when Mike Evans went down with a hamstring injury.
With the Bucs leading 10-7 in the second quarter, Mayfield scored a sure-fire touchdown in the hands of Evans, but was dropped as the receiver writhes in pain and made it to the locker room before being quickly removed. was taken to.
An interception ended that drive, and things fell apart from there.
Mayfield finished the game with 370 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 41-31 loss.
Near the end of the game, Chris Godwin also left the game with a dislocated ankle, ending his season.
Tampa Bay currently faces the difficult task of hosting the Falcons at home on short notice without their top two wide receivers.
Perhaps their quarterback is trying to stay calm as they look for depth options on the practice squad while trying to improve chemistry with backups Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan and former Giant Sterling Shepard. We'll probably need a few more ZYNs.
