Bucs edge Seahawks 38-35 on McLaughlin FG after Mayfield late drive

TAMPA BAY 38, SEATTLE 35 — Baker Mayfield led a late game-tying drive and Lavonte David's interception with 58 seconds left set up Chase McLaughlin's 39-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 38-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Lumen Field. The win, secured on the road, improved Tampa Bay to 4-1 while Seattle fell to 3-2.

Mayfield completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns, including an 11-yard strike to Sterling Shepard with 1:08 remaining that pulled the Buccaneers even at 35. Two plays into Seattle's ensuing possession, Sam Darnold's throw deflected off a Tampa Bay lineman's helmet and into David's hands at the Seattle 35. Four plays later McLaughlin split the uprights as the clock hit zero. Darnold finished 28 of 34 for 341 yards and four touchdowns but was charged with the game's lone interception.

Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight receptions for 132 yards and a score. Rachaad White added two rushing touchdowns for the Buccaneers, who amassed 426 total yards.
