Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield finished Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season with zero passing yards, according to USA TODAY Sports. The rare statistical anomaly was reported by Tim Piotrowski on November 1, 2026.
Mayfield, who has started every game for Tampa Bay this season, entered Week 8 as one of the league's more productive passers. A zero-yard passing output for a starting quarterback over a full game is virtually unprecedented in modern NFL history, typically occurring only when a player is injured on the first offensive series or the team attempts no passes.
The Buccaneers' offensive approach and any potential injury to Mayfield were not detailed in the initial report. Further information on the circumstances surrounding the performance is expected as post-game analysis continues.
