The NFL will not punish Baker Mayfield after he suffered ZYN during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

According to ESPN's Jenna Laine, Mayfield will receive a letter reminding him that nicotine is banned by the NFL on the sidelines and during interviews. However, he is not threatened with any further action.

ESPN's cameras showed the Bucs sideline early in the third quarter of Monday Night Football as the Buccaneers lost 17-10.

As Mayfield sat down on the bench, he opened a can and put something white in his mouth.

AAs an alternative to traditional chewing tobacco products, ZYN is a nicotine pouch that, according to the manufacturer, does not contain tobacco.

The NFL will not punish Baker Mayfield after he suffered a ZYN during Monday Night Football

Sharp-eyed NFL fans immediately took to social media and expressed mixed opinions.

While some were quick to call Mayfield “a champion” and he took ZYN as “what the world needs,” producers were quick to remind him not to do so in public.

In a statement to TMZ, Swedish Match said: “Swedish Match values ​​its loyal customers and requests that they not display the product in situations where anyone under the age of 21 could see it.

“The product is marketed only to current nicotine users aged 21 and over and represents a better alternative to continued smoking and other traditional tobacco products.”

NFL rules state that players cannot consume alcohol or tobacco products on the field or during interviews.

Already in April tThe pouches have been the fastest-growing segment of the tobacco industry, which has struggled for decades to replace declining cigarette sales.

Users place them between their lip and gums, where they slowly release small amounts of nicotine that are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Mayfield clearly needed something to soften what was a miserable evening for Tampa Bay

Because pouches generally do not contain tobacco, spitting does not occur, unlike older products such as chews and snuff.

Mayfield clearly needed something to soften what was a miserable evening for Tampa Bay.

Chris Godwin suffered a horrific ankle dislocation in the final stages of the Bucs' 41:31 loss.

There was about a minute left and Tampa Bay was trailing by ten, leading many to condemn Bucs coach Todd Bowles for keeping him in the game.

They also lost fellow receiver Mike Evans to a hamstring injury, which is expected to keep him out until at least Week 12.

Evans was the first to go down, clutching his right Achilles tendon after failing to prevent a potential 24-yard touchdown reception with 7:31 left in the first half.

He was able to walk to the locker room under his own power but did not return to the game.
