Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Downplays thumb issue

Mayfield said his right thumb feels good after it hit an opposing player's helmet in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-6 win over the Titans, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Knight notes that the Buccaneers called seven straight run plays after Mayfield sustained the injury, followed by the quarterback's last pass attempt of the day (an incompletion) being called with roughly seven minutes still remaining in the contest. Mayfield has looked comfortable in Tampa Bay's offensive scheme recently, and he's on a three-game multi-TD streak, but that streak could be in jeopardy for multiple reasons Week 11, as the Buccaneers will face San Francisco on the road, and the Niners defense just held Trevor Lawrence to 185 yards and zero touchdowns versus two interceptions.
