Every playoff game can change drastically in an instant and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with Baker Mayfield ended on the wrong side of the whims of the NFL postseason.
Former Sooners Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts will quarterback National Football League teams in the opening round of the playoffs. That’s no small thing.
The Vikings-Rams game features five former Sooners. Brian Asamoah, Jalen Redmond, and Walter Rouse suit up for Minnesota, while Neville Gallimore and Drake Stoops play for Los Angeles. We’ll take Redmond as our pick, as the defensive lineman has come from the United Football League to be a rotational piece up front for a 14-win team.
The last time Hurts was on the football field was back in a Week 16 loss against the Washington Commanders, where he suffered a concussion on a 13-yard run in the first quarter. Backup QBs Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee finished the final two games of the season.
Baker Mayfield's fourth-quarter fumble led to a touchdown that gave the Washington Commanders a short-lived lead.
