Baker Mayfield Wins "A" in Cleveland Browns' Baltimore Ravens Victory: DMan QB Report

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Quarterback Baker Mayfield scored 25 of 43 points for a total of 342 yards and a touchdown in the Cleveland Browns' 12-9 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Stadium. Mayfield was intercepted once and sacked five times.

First things first: So that's the win for an NFL team in Cleveland.

The Browns (2-2-1) have won more than two wins for the first time since their 3-13 win in 2015. You and I and the NFL people know that the Browns could easily be 5-0, but the day after a victory This is not the time to tackle this.

The Browns won a match of AFC North for the first time since October 11, 2015 (OT at Ravens, 33-30). They won Sunday for the first time since December 13, 2015 (against San Francisco, 24-10).

Baker on fire: All factors taken into account – including the caliber of the competition – Mayfield played well in his third game in the NFL, his second start and first home start.

Mayfield did what the winners do: they win. It was not always beautiful, but it will almost never be a quarter against the D.

The Browns star defense gave the offensive the opportunity to take it away and Mayfield ensured that the check was cashed with two seconds to spare in OT.

Mayfield has made wise decisions all along – a must against the Ravens. He lived up to see another one instead of trying to play Hero-Ball. He avoided several other bags because of his hardness and his IQ in football. Unlike many of his predecessors in Cleveland, he strove to pretend. It is imperative to protect the ball against Baltimore and he did so largely; the isolated business figure, interception, was probably not his fault.

Mayfield's best work was done on back-to-back games in the Browns' third overtime, 15th in the game. On the second and 21st of Cleveland 5, he ran for 13 yards. In the third and eighth of Cleveland 18, he avoided pressure and managed a perfect pass to replace catcher Derrick Willies for 39 yards. Yes, this Derrick Willies, of Hard Knocks.

After three hurried games, the Browns opened the scoring for the 12-9 final.

The final note of Mayfield: A
