Once Baker Mayfield took the podium following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win in Week 3, he let himself go. He threw darts to the New York Jets‘ defensive coordinator who has now responded during his press conference today.

After the game, Mayfield said, “Their D-coordinator (Steve Wilks) was the one who cut me in Carolina. A lot of stuff was personal today.” Now, Wilks has defended himself.

“I don’t really think an interim coach has that much authority over personnel. If that’s the case, I would’ve never gotten rid of our best player, Christian McCaffrey,“ Wilks said to the media in the Jets‘ press conference. This can be interpreted as saying McCaffrey was way more important to that team than Mayfield, adding a bit of fuel to the fire.

Mayfield has evolved massively since then
