Few quarterbacks, if any, embody the get-it-done-by-any-means mentality like Baker Mayfield, and during Nov. 30, 2025’s must-have win against Arizona, the Buccaneers’ entire offense took on that identity. Tampa Bay’s miraculous, pre-halftime drive offered the full experience: multiple must-convert successes, trademark “Baker Brilliance” on a 21-yard scramble, and contributions from the likes of Rachaad White and Emeka Egbuka. What couldn’t have been anticipated, though, was whom the score would belong to: five-time Pro Bowl tackle Tristan Wirfs. In what marked the 2025 NFL season’s first offensive lineman touchdown, Wirfs became about as invisible as a 6-foot-5, 320-pound player could, turning his eligibility into a two-yard milestone. Such creativity allowed the Bucs to outmatch the Cardinals for a 20-17 win, temporarily keeping them in the NFC South’s driver seat.
