Baker Mayfield, Bucs beat Eagles, score points with Tom Brady

TAMPA — He studied the Philadelphia Eagles defense in the dark, the only illumination coming from the monitor of his Microsoft Surface computer. His wife, Emily, and 5-month-old daughter, Kova Jade, lay asleep next to him in a hotel room at the Renaissance International Plaza hotel.

Baker Mayfield was forced to evacuate his home on Davis Islands late this week to escape the storm surge from Hurricane Helene.

“Definitely a dark hotel room with a laptop on,” Mayfield said.
