Baker Mayfield does not turn it over
Baker Mayfield has not been asked to do too much this season because of the elite rushing attack featuring Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. With Chubb on IR, Mayfield has been asked to step up a bit and the turnovers are beginning to creep up again.
Through the first four games of the season, Mayfield threw seven touchdowns with just two interceptions. In the last two games against strong defenses in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, Mayfield has thrown three touchdowns and four interceptions.
The constant coaching changes have not helped but it is time that Mayfield takes the next step and starts taking care of the ball. He has shown signs of being able to do so this season and that will be key here.
The one way that the Bengals could pull off an upset in this one is if the Browns turn the ball over. It begins with Mayfield.
