Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield seems pretty amused by how the Texas Longhorns celebrated their rivalry win over Oklahoma on Saturday.

Mayfield, a Heisman Trophy winner for the Sooners, was the subject of some taunting after Texas beat Oklahoma 34-3 on Saturday. Longhorns players not only planted a Texas flag at midfield of the Cotton Bowl, but they did so on top of a Mayfield jersey .

Mayfield was asked about this after the Buccaneers’ win over New Orleans, and his response was perfect.

“Just a kid from Austin, Texas that went to Oklahoma, won his last two Red River games and being rent free in their heads for almost a decade,” Mayfield said.

Texas did beat Oklahoma in 2015, which was Mayfield’s first Red River rivalry game. As he noted, he defeated them twice after that, in 2016 and 2017.

Mayfield has never been shy about taunting the Longhorns , and he can probably take it when the disrespect comes back his way. He’ll probably be hoping the Sooners can put things right next year, though.
