Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was seen smiling during a play in the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game against the Miami Dolphins on August 23, 2024, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Washington Commanders are set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today in a highly anticipated NFL Week 1 matchup. Notably, Jayden Daniels, who won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and was selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will make his regular season debut in this game.
