1. Baker Mayfield Helps Calm The Fans Down A Bit
Finally, and most importantly, the Browns are going to see the star version of Mayfield that they have been waiting to see. After looking great in his rookie season, Mayfield took a big step in the wrong direction last year. His first game of the season has some fans worries.
Mayfield completed just 21 of his 39 passes for 189 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Those numbers were not what fans were hoping for expecting to see.
Despite the slow start, Mayfield will get things going against the Bengals. Learning a new system with a new coach is never easy for a quarterback. He will show flashes of things to come this week.
He will end up throwing for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Those numbers will help lead the Browns to their first win of the season. Cleveland will finally relax a bit, even if it is just the Bengals.
