Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns

53. . Week 1 (Lost) Titans 43, Browns 13. . Baker Mayfield. . team

Oh, don’t act like you haven’t heard the ‘Baker Mayfield for MVP hints’. In Week 1, that theory took a tremendous blow. The Cleveland Browns got smoked in Week 1.

If you don’t come into the NFL with some humility, the league tends to have a way of making people take a step back and reevaluate some things. Mayfield and his Browns, with all that talent on defense and all of those offensive weapons, had so much hype surrounding them that, from the outside looking in, it just seemed like he felt like they were starting to feel themselves just a tad too much.

Mayfield has had his ‘get on board or get out of town’ attitude towards a teammate. Then, he was talking about some ‘Cleveland versus everybody’ nonsense. All of a sudden, Mr. Mayfield had rubbed some guys and some fans the wrong way. Come on, nobody hates Cleveland except for the fans of the other teams in that division.

Nobody got any enjoyment out of watching the Browns’ implosion in Week 1 either, but if we’re being honest, we’d have to admit that it was pretty funny, wasn’t it? If you’re in the media or cover that team, you’ve got a lot to talk about today.

Week 1 Grade: F
