Mayfield dislocated his right thumb against Minnesota during Week 3. He has worn a special glove in practice and plans to use it in the game on Sunday.

Tampa Bay dominated the first half but was unable to close out the game against Aaron Rodgers, who shrugged off a slow start to lead four fourth-quarter scoring drives and a 70-yard TD march in overtime.

Bucky Irving ran for career-best 165 yards, including a 72-yard dash that set up a score, and Tampa Bay forced three Dallas turnovers to help the Bucs break a four-game season-opening losing streak.

Undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels played well at times but threw two interceptions that led to 10 Green Bay points in his first career start filling in for an injured Baker Mayfield.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said an MRI on Baker Mayfield did not show ligament damage or a fracture. Still, undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will start this week at quarterback against the Packers.

Tampa Bay remained winless after three games for the first time in 12 years. To make matters worse, Baker Mayfield left late in the game after dislocating the thumb on his throwing hand.

Tampa police say the former NFL star was trespassed after a city council meeting was disrupted. His complaint alleges that officials “escalated his presence into a governmental confrontation.”

Deshaun Watson rallied Cleveland while Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield came up short against his former team in a game that was halted for more than two hours at the two-minute warning because of weather.

Mayfield, now the Bucs' starting QB, was drafted No. 1 overall in 2018 by Cleveland, where he had an inconsistent four seasons. Tampa Bay hosts the Browns on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

"This one falls on me," said Baker Mayfield, who had three of Tampa Bay's four fumbles – one returned for a Bengals touchdown – that made the difference in the defeat.

After last season’s collapse, Tampa Bay overhauled its coaching staff, strengthened the defense and locked up Baker Mayfield with a big contract, setting the stage for higher expectations – even without Mike Evans.

The quarterback had set a deadline for getting a new deal by the start of training camp, and felt “disrespected” when he didn’t get it. Now, the team says he will be the highest-paid player in franchise history.
