An NFL team is set to evacuate Florida ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Milton this week.  The hurricane - the second to hit the southeast of the United States within two weeks - increased to a Category 4 early Monday as it heads toward Orlando and Tampa Bay - an area still reeling from Hurricane Helene last month. With Hurricane Milton expected to make landfall in Florida Wednesday, millions of residents on the state's west coast have been warned to evacuate ahead of 'life-threatening' nine-foot-high storm surges and winds of up to 156mph barreling in.

Two quarterbacks have both done their part to help ensure victims of Hurricane Helene receive the assistance they in the wake of the catastrophe the storm left behind.  Hurricane Helene tore through the southeastern states of the USA last week, leaving millions of Americans hit by the devastating effects. The rivals made matching donations to help victims of the hurricane ahead of their Week 5 game.

The Atlanta Falcons - who are 2-2 through four games this season - are slight favourites to defeat 3-1 side Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC South showdown in Thursday Night Football.  At the time of writing - the Falcons are 4/6 to secure the win at home, while Baker Mayfield and Co are 11/10 underdogs. In a separate market - there are three Price Boosts on offer for this contest that are generating plenty of interest in the betting lines.

Tom Brady has publicly fired back at his Tampa Bay Buccaneers successor after Baker Mayfield leveled a series of accusations at the retired quarterback. Brady found himself in the firing line last week after Mayfield, who replace the NFL legend in Tampa Bay, took aim at his locker room presence.  The Buccaneers quarterback last week accused the serial Super Bowl winner of creating a 'high-strung environment' within the team he inherited in Florida and Brady didn't take too kindly to Mayfield's comments. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily were successfully evacuated as Hurricane Helene thrashed Florida's gulf coast. 'I do not have words to accurately describe my heartbreak for everyone affected by Hurricane Helene,' Emily wrote on social media. 'You see this stuff on TV- but until you live through it, you can't fully grasp the terror associated with the unknowns.'

It would not take being a fly on the wall to know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a different vibe with Baker Mayfield at quarterback compared to their three seasons with Tom Brady at the helm. Mayfield has now admitted as much publicly, leveling major accusations against the now Fox Sports commentator. Brady and Mayfield were never teammates in their NFL career, as backing up Brady was never in the cards for the former No 1 overall pick.

Baker Mayfield certainly understands what it feels like to be written off, and the Bucs passer offered some words of encouragement for benched Panthers rookie Bryce Young on Wednesday. Mayfield is now starring in Tampa Bay and known as one of the league's most accurate passers, but it took a winding journey to get to this point as he was traded by the Browns and Panthers before finding himself as a free agent after a brief stint with the Rams. Now settled as the Bucs' starter, he told Young - a fellow former No. 1 overall pick - that his story in pro football 'is far from finished' following his Panthers benching.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a hilarious reaction to being voted the biggest trash-talking quarterback in the NFL. That dubious honor doubled with his NFL peers anonymously voting him the most overrated quarterback in the league simultaneously. The recognition from Allen comes from an ESPN story where over 100 current NFL players were given the chance to speak their mind on quarterbacks without having their name attached to it. 

Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy will miss his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery on a knee problem. It was initially thought that the 21-year-old would only sit on the sidelines for the opening few weeks of the NFL season after a suffering a cartilage tear in his right knee.  But on Wednesday, Minnesota confirmed that McCarthy required a full meniscus repair and will now be out for the whole of the 2024 season.

After breaking his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, McGregor is slated to make his walk to the Octagon on June 29 against Michael Chandler at UFC 303. On Tuesday, the Buccaneers and ESPN MMA collaboratively posted Mayfield and his teammates having a go at making McGregor impressions. 'Can this be censored?' Mayfield asked before proceeding. 'Who the f*** is that guy?' he continued - imitating McGregor's Irish accent.

There were a dozen high-school quarterbacks featured on the show 'QB1: Beyond the Lights', which streamed on Netflix for its first three seasons and concluded its fourth season on Tubi last year. Every single player featured eventually played FBS football, with exactly half being drafted by an NFL team or getting a chance on a professional roster. All of the quarterbacks were chosen because they were high-level prep prospects, which does not exactly mean future success. 

Just a month after Baker Mayfield signed a mammoth contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL star's wife Emily has given birth to their daughter. The quarterback, 29, and Emily announced the arrival of baby girl Kova Jade Mayfield on Saturday. Emily took to Instagram to share pictures of Kova nestled in Baker's arms while their adorable dog, Fergus, looked on.

With days to spare, the NFL's free agency behemoths are already declining before players can officially start signing new contracts. Russell Wilson agreed to join the Pittsburgh Steelers for the minimum of $1.2 million as the Denver Broncos remain on the hook for the $38 million left on his previous deal. In addition, quarterback Baker Mayfield has signed a three-year, $100 million contract to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom he coached to the playoffs in his first season with the team. Next month's draft features young talent in Caleb Williams and North Carolina's Drake Maye, but quarterback-hungry squads searching for more experience, such as quarterback Kirk Cousins and Chicago Bears signal caller Justin Fields now stand as the best two viable options.

According to The Athletic, the 28-year-old, one-time Pro Bowl pickee will receive $50 million in promised funds as part of his new contract. He led the Buccaneers' to the NFC Divisional Round this season after meeting high hopes with a 9-8 record prior to the playoffs, as well as winning the NFC South in the process. By the start of the playoffs, Mayfield had recorded 4,044 yards with 28 touchdowns and ten interceptions, and had two 300-yard games in the postseason.

Mayfield, who confessed to being from Austin, Texas, he supports the Texas Rangers - the World Series champions - over the Houston Astros. After a Week 1 victory over the Vikings last season, he was chastised for picking up signs from Minnesota's defense.

After their playoff run-in just a few weeks ago, Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had something of a dance-off at the Pro Bowl. In the NFC Divisional round, Brown's Detroit Lions defeated Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a touchdown. He performed a dance that Mayfield made popular when the quarterback was a Cleveland Browns fan.

On Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 to advance to the NFC Championship game against San Francisco next weekend. In the Super Bowl era, Detroit had not played multiple games in the same postseason, the first time in 1957. Detroit never trailed in the game, with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter bringing the game to a halt.

In the NFL Playoffs' Divisional Round this weekend, the Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in just their second NFC Championship Game. They are marginal favorites with Sky Bet for the victory, with Dan Campbell's side 4/11 at the time of writing. The Buccaneers, who upset the Philadelphia Eagles last season's Super Bowl runners-up, find themselves as significant outsiders once more on 9/4.

In the wild card round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a bitter Philadelphia Eagles fan had a bitter Monday after betting against his own team. The bettor spoiled his Eagles by betting on Tampa Bay's alternative -13.5 spread. The bet was placed at +750 odds with Philadelphia favored to win with a win. The Buccaneers defeated the Eagles 32-9, putting them out of the playoff chase. The fan's $250 bet turned into a $2,125 payout.

The four NFL Divisional round games have been arranged, with the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans highlighting the bunch, as well as Kansas City vs. Buffalo. Without a team from the NFC East three weeks ago, making it to the Divisional round seemed unattainable. Now, it's a resounding truth, as the Cowboys and Eagles were blown out by the Packers and Buccaneers respectively, in a slew of disappointing reality. Both will be on the road to face the 49ers and Lions.

Mayfield's win in Tampa Bay on Monday night would remind Buccaneers of their team's Super Bowl-winning season under Brady in 2020. Throghton's first blood was drawn in just less than ten minutes into the first quarter by a 44-yard TD pass to WR David Moore.

Baker Mayfield of Tampa Bay has been listed as 'questionable' for Monday night's Wild Card playoff game against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles due to ankle and rib injuries. Mayfield did not attend Thursday's game and was suspended on Friday and Saturday. Because of winning the NFC South, the 9-8 Buccaneers are hosting the 11-6 Eagles.

Baker Mayfield has been seamless in his move to starting quarterback after Tom Brady's retirement. The Buccaneers won the NFC South, giving them another playoff appearance, which they achieved on Sunday afternoon. Mayfield had officially guiding Tampa Bay to the playoffs with a 2-0 win over the Carolina Panthers.
