Score: 23-19 loss vs. Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n
Stat Line: 21 of 34 for 182 yards, a touchdown and an interception<\/p>\n
Throughout Baker Mayfield’s career, the former No. 1 overall pick has displayed a tendency of getting too amped up for certain situations, which causes him to force too many passes or outright miss throws he can make. <\/p>\n
Sunday’s meeting with the Cleveland Browns was a big one, because the contest served as an opportunity to enact revenge against his original NFL team and the quarterback who replaced him as that squad’s starter. <\/p>\n
Instead, Mayfield had multiple bad misses, including the final play of the game despite a streaking Emeka Egbuka open for the potential game-winning touchdown. <\/p>\n
To be fair, Mayfield did drop a dime earlier in the same offensive series, which rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst dropped in the end zone. Still, the Browns were downtrodden after their Week 1 performance. Cleveland’s quarterback setup had become a national joke. Mayfield and Co. failed to show up and fell to 0-2 to start the season. <\/p>\n
