"I woke up p----d off like a mf !!!!!" Palmer wrote.

The rookie wide receiver has started a tradition of waking up angry on game days and posting about it. This season, he started it on Oct. 1 before the team’s game against the New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers won the game 26-9. On Dec. 31, the team lost to the Saints after the post.

Palmer wrote on X the last two weeks about his early-morning rage and the team has won. Last week, Palmer contributed to the victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card victory. He caught a 56-yard touchdown pass. It was his only catch of the game.

Tampa Bay won its first playoff game in the post-Tom Brady era 32-6. Baker Mayfield finished 22-of-36 with 337 passing yards and three touchdown passes. David Moore and Chris Godwin caught Mayfield’s other two touchdown passes.
