The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found a way to beat the defending NFC Champions on Monday Night Football.
While the Eagles were slight favorites heading into this one, many felt this game would be a toss-up.
After a hard-fought first half, the Buccaneers pulled away early in the second half and never looked back.
The team’s success was attributed to Baker Mayfield, who finished the game with 337 passing yards and three touchdown passes.
This spurred Emmanuel Acho to recall a video about Mayfield he had posted to Twitter in October.
In a follow-up tweet, Acho indicated that Mayfield has “overachieved” throughout his career.
Baker Mayfield, respect the man. His whole career he has overachieved. https://t.co/jJuN5b2WRi

As many NFL fans may recall, Mayfield was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Due to several contributing factors within the Cleveland Browns’ organization, his time there didn’t pan out as many had expected.
He got another chance to be a starter in Carolina, which didn’t work out as both parties anticipated.
When Matthew Stafford fell to injury last year, the Los Angeles Rams added him to their roster, but it was just a temporary solution.
Finally, he was signed by the Buccaneers to a one-year deal before the 2023 season began.
There have been some bumpy spots throughout the year, but Mayfield was able to lead them to the playoffs.
He has built upon his resume with the victory over the Eagles and will now have a chance to take down the Detroit Lions in the Divisional Round.
Can Mayfield continue this career of overachieving, as Acho highlights?
