Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has never been one to shy away from confrontation or back down when someone tries to intimidate him. The latest example came in Monday night's 20-19 victory over the Houston Texans , when a recurring adversary yet again tried to pull his chain.
A Mayfield scramble for a first down ended in an awkward landing, leading to him monetarily staying down on the field pain. It was then that Texans defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who has a history of antagonizing Mayfield, appeared to say something to the quarterback while he was down. Mayfield then sprang back up to his feet and began jawing at Gardner-Johnson before the two were separated.
When asked about his mentality in that moment on Wednesday, Mayfield gave a short but sweet answer.
