Baker Mayfield has had quite the week.
Not only was he able to lead the Los Angeles Rams to a come-from-behind win, which was capped off by a 98-yard touchdown drive, but has also earned a league-wide accolade.
In this victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, Mayfield had a stat line of 22/35 for 230 yards and one touchdown.

Mayfield is the latest NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
This is the third time that Mayfield has been awarded this achievement, although, the first two times that he won the award, he was a member of the AFC.
What’s Next For Mayfield?
For starters, the Green Bay Packers.
Mayfield and the Rams are slated to take on the Packers on Monday Night Football this week.
This will be back-to-back primetime games for the Rams, giving Mayfield more nationwide exposure.
The Packers need to win all of their remaining games to have a chance at the playoffs this season.
Will Mayfield and the Rams play spoiler?
With his career as a starting NFL quarterback potentially in jeopardy, Mayfield will have the rest of the 2022 campaign to prove that he has what it takes.
The Rams are currently out of the playoff hunt, but Mayfield sure has a lot to play for.
After this season, what comes next for him is certainly unknown.
He is only tied to the Rams for this season, but if he continues to play well, there’s a chance that he will be re-signed by the Rams, or be picked up by another team.
