NFL Top-10 rankings: Chiefs still No. 1; Bucs, Commanders enter, Eagles drop out

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield has the Buccaneers offense firing on all cylinders. He has settled in as the team’s QB1, exhibiting all the traits that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. As Todd Bowles continues to paint defensive…
