Baker Mayfield dons Michigan tank top to pay off bet with Todd Bowles following Wolverines' win over Oklahoma
Bowles' son Troy is a senior linebacker for the Wolverines and made nine tackles during the win over Mayfield's Sooners.
Baker Mayfield faced a challenging weekend as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers began their NFL season with a 33-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Mayfield struggled, throwing for 216 yards, but was sacked four times and failed to throw a touchdown pass. Earlier that week, Mayfield's Oklahoma team suffered a 17-10 defeat to Michigan, forcing the quarterback to fulfill a bet with his head coach, Todd Bowles.
With his son Troy, a senior linebacker, contributing nine total tackles in the game, Bowles demanded repayment. On Wednesday, Mayfield arrived at his press conference wearing a No. 18 Michigan tank top, featuring his head coach's number, as Bowles sang the Wolverines' fight song. Mayfield admitted, "It's been a rough couple of days," regarding the bet's consequences.
He clarified that his Buccaneers teammate Ben Bredeson, also a Michigan alumnus, did not purchase the tank top for him, stating, "No, he’s probably got something worse."
