Baker Mayfield sparks Bucs with 'Double Tommy tribute' vs. Giants - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got back into the win column for the first time for the first time since Oct. 13 on Sunday, complete with a «Double Tommy» celebration from quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield said his end zone celebration during the Bucs' 30-7 victory at MetLife Stadium was a «tribute» to New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito.

With 20 seconds to go in the first half, Mayfield scrambled up the middle and hurdled Giants cornerback Cordale Flott into the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown. He then shot up, raised both arms into the air, curled his fingers and pumped his arms wildly towards the fans in a move that has become a signature of DeVito's and a nod to his Italian heritage.

«It was a tribute. A tribute to Tommy,» Mayfield, who swore it was unplanned, said with a deadpanned expression. «He's a good dude.»

Added Mayfield: «Most of the time, I don't know what I'm gonna do so… spontaneous stuff. New York fans love Tommy here, so give 'em something they like.»

Mayfield was then asked if he, too, was Italian.

«I haven't done a 23andme but I don't know,» he deadpanned.

DeVito said he was unaware of Mayfield's celebration until he was informed after the game.

«They were having a good game. They celebrated,,» DeVito said. «It is what it is. Kind of happened last year. It's going to happen I guess.»

Mayfield suffered a stinger in the game after colliding with multiple teammates while trying to recover a fourth-quarter fumble. It required him to visit the blue injury tent but did not force him to miss a down.

«Just kind of an awkward little — not tackle — but diving in for the ball,» Mayfield said. «Feel good though.»

Mayfield said he and DeVito met briefly in Las Vegas at the Super Bowl this
