ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Leading an NFL team into his home state of Texas isn’t new for Baker Mayfield. Helping his team on a big step toward the playoffs while playing so close to his roots would be new for the Tampa Bay quarterback. A four-game winning streak has the Buccaneers atop the NFC South. They will try to stay there by themselves against Dallas on Sunday night. The Cowboys are close to elimination. It would end their three-year playoff run.
