Coming back to Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, the Bucs' injuries obscured much of what everyone remembered from that game. As for the NFL, they remember something else Baker Mayfield did on the sidelines of that game.

During the broadcast, Mayfield was seen taking a Zyn bag and putting it in his mouth. For those who don't know, Zyn is a nicotine product that the NFL bans on the sidelines, let alone using.

ESPN's Jenna Laine reported that the NFL reviewed the matter and concluded it would not punish Mayfield for the action.

Mayfield's play has been discussed in recent weeks, so it's likely to be splashed across the news. What concerns fans and the media more is his consistency. The team has scored over 30 points per game in the last four games, but is just 1-3 there.

The defense needs to perform better, but Mayfield has also committed seven turnovers in these games and they are making a difference.
