TAMPA, Fla. >> A rejuvenated Baker Mayfield says he’s focused on defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, not the future of a career he’s revived by leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the NFL playoffs.

The No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 draft arguably has had his best season as a pro, guiding the resurgent Bucs (9-8) to what six weeks ago seemed an unlikely prospect — a third straight division title and an NFC wild-card matchup tonight against the reeling defending NFC champion Eagles (11-6).

Since joining Tampa Bay on a one-year, $4 million contract last March, Mayfield has positioned himself for a possible long-term deal with the Bucs or perhaps another club impressed with the way he’s bounced back from less successful stints with Cleveland, Carolina and the Los Angeles Rams.

“It’s meant the world to me just to be able to be in a stable place, to be the best version of myself (and) to (do) what they’ve enabled me to do. The organization, the staff, our locker room — it’s just a special place, so I’ve truly appreciated it,” Mayfield said.

“I hope the guys know that. I try to reflect that with just who I am every day coming to work, bringing energy and passion into it,” the 28-year-old quarterback added. “It’s been great for me, but (we’re) not done yet.”

Tom Brady led Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl title and three postseason berths from 2020-22 before retiring after an opening-round playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys a year ago.

Mayfield, meanwhile, split time last season between the Panthers and Rams, going a combined 2-8 as a starter.

When he signed with the Bucs and went on to win Brady’s old job in training camp, few people envisioned the team being successful enough to finish with a winning record, much less a franchise-best fourth consecutive playoff berth.

Coach Todd Bowles, however, not only viewed Mayfield as a good fit for a new system being installed by first-year offensive coordinator Dave Canales, but for a locker room that’s been transformed from one of the oldest in the NFL to one of the youngest since Brady’s departure.

Star receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin remain, as do defensive standouts Vita Vea of Milpitas, Lavonte David, Shaquil Barrett, Devin White and Antoine Winfield Jr.

Mayfield has prospered because of contributions from younger players such as second-year running back Rachaad White and the development of tight end Cade Otton and rookie defensive starters Calijah Kancey and Yaya Diaby.

One of the best things the quarterback did to win over teammates was not try to be like Brady.

“I think he’s relatable because he’s different, and I think we have a different team,” Bowles said. “I think we needed to go a different way. It’s worked out for us. The attitude that he brought in, I think would be infectious on a young or an older team. I think that’s just who he is.”
