Lavonte David's interception of Sam Darnold with 58 seconds left set the stage for Chase McLaughlin's game-winning field goal, leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a thrilling 38-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Baker Mayfield completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating his sharpness after a prior loss. Darnold threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns but made a critical mistake with a late interception. The Bucs converted 7 of 11 third downs against a Seahawks defense missing several starters. Tampa Bay's victory marked a historic milestone, as they became the first NFL team with four wins by three points or fewer in their first five games.

Coach Todd Bowles highlighted Mayfield's ability to recover emotionally and maintain focus. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka emphasized the importance of having a quarterback capable of executing under pressure. The performance of both quarterbacks reflected their journeys of overcoming past struggles in their careers.
