The clip was posted Tuesday on the X account @joshthebucsfan. Mayfield targeted Godwin 11 times during the game and connected eight times for 114 yards. Deven Thompkins, Cade Otton and Trey Palmer each had touchdown catches in the game.
"You see him making plays, scrambling, taking some big shots, popping back up — that’s infectious for the team," Godwin said Sunday of Mayfield after the game. "It makes the offensive line want to block more, makes us want to run our routes a little bit harder and give him a chance because we know he’s going to play as much as he can to give us a chance."
