Baker Mayfield Leads Browns To Win On Thursday
6 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield led his team to a 21-17 win over the New York Jets on Thursday night. Taking over for a concussed Tyrod Taylor at the end of the second quarter, Mayfield finished the evening with 201 passing yards while completing 17 of his 23 pass attempts. The rookie quarterback's presence was felt instantly as he made quick decisions while showing excellent accuracy and plenty of zip on his passes. While Mayfield didn't throw for a touchdown, he led his team on two touchdown drives, both of which were punctuated by Carlos Hyde scores. While Taylor has 10 days to get cleared of his concussion, it is plain to see that Mayfield gives the Browns the best chance to win going forward. Expect him to be under center when the Browns take on the Oakland Raiders in Week 4. Mayfield should be a hot waiver pickup this coming week.
