"This smile is everything. So much adversity. So many naysayers. People wanting him to fail," she wrote. "He hasn’t stopped working, he never stopped believing….. I am SO proud of him."

It was Tampa Bay’s first playoff win since the team defeated the Eagles in the 2021-22 playoffs. Brady had two touchdowns in that game, but the team lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.

Mayfield said the communication in the Bucs’ offense throughout the week made things more comfortable during the game.

"Everybody was on the same page, knowing what we were going to do offensively, schematically," Mayfield said. "Came out and attacked. Obviously, got to make a few more plays overall on offense, but we made more than enough to win tonight."
