Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs, Heading For X-Rays On Ribs
4 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 21-of-37 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 32-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. Mayfield found Kareem Hunt for a two-yard score in the second quarter and Rashard Higgins on a 15-yard TD pass later in the same quarter. It was a solid effort against a tough Indy defense for Mayfield, who helped improve his team to 4-1 on the year. He did suffer a rib injury early in the fourth quarter and is reportedly heading for X-rays on Monday. While it's encouraging that Mayfield was able to finish the game after the hit that injured him, the X-ray results will give a better picture as to his status for his team's Week 6 showdown against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. Mayfield himself sounded optimistic that he would be able to play.
