Ray Jay got rowdy, and Tampa sent ’em home happy. The Buccaneers edged the Jets 29-27 on a walk-off from Chase McLaughlin — a cool, clean 36-yarder at the horn — capping a wild finish after New York roared back from down 23-6 in the fourth. Baker Mayfield steered the last-minute march with darts of 28 to Emeka Egbuka and 20 to Sterling Shepard, flipping the script just moments after the Jets briefly stole the lead. That’s high-wire stuff, folks. (espn.com)
Mayfield was vintage gamer: 19/29 for 233 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, plus 44 rushing yards, including a table-setting scramble earlier that had the pirate ship ready to fire. Mike Evans snagged a 5-yard score before a hamstring sent him to the sideline, and Jamel Dean lit the first-half fuse with a 55-yard pick-six. Tampa had to survive their own laundry (14 flags for 124 yards), but they had just enough ball to beat the brawl. (espn.com)
For the Jets, it was a roller coaster with a couple loop-de-loops. Tyrod Taylor started for an injured Justin Fields and kept swinging: 26/36 for 197 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, and 48 rushing yards. Garrett Wilson was a metronome — 10 grabs, 84 yards and a paydirt spike — and Allen Lazard cashed the red-zone chip to make it a one-score game. Then came the play of the day: Will McDonald IV leaped the line, blocked a 43-yarder, scooped the rock, and housed it for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:49 left. That’s pure track-meet chaos on special teams. (espn.com)
Big picture, Tampa’s sitting pretty at 3-0 for the first time since 2005, and they’ve now won in the final minute three straight weeks — clutch gene confirmed. But today’s star is easy: Big Dill of the Game goes to Chase McLaughlin — five makes (from 54, 33, 28, 55, and the 36-yard dagger) and the swagger to shake off a block and still bury the game-winner. That’s ice in the veins, relish on the dog. Until next time, this is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith for Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. (espn.com)
