Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield arrived wearing a Michigan Wolverines tank top, according to ESPN, after his alma mater, the Oklahoma Sooners, suffered a stunning defeat to Michigan in Week 2 of the college football season.

Mayfield, who played quarterback for Oklahoma before going on to a professional career, acknowledged the sting of the loss. "It hurts real bad," Mayfield said, according to ESPN.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles took the opportunity to needle his quarterback over the outcome, playfully trolling Mayfield in the aftermath of Oklahoma's setback, ESPN reported.

The report did not provide additional details on the final score of the Oklahoma-Michigan game or further context surrounding Mayfield's choice of attire.

Mayfield has been a vocal supporter of his former college program since entering the NFL, and his reaction to the loss highlighted the continued attention given to college football rivalries among current professional players.
