Following Sunday's loss to the New York Jets, which prevented the Cleveland Browns from clinching a playoff berth, quarterback Baker Mayfield said he "failed the team" after fumbling three times.
"Plain and simple, I have to hold onto the damn ball," said Mayfield, who fumbled on Cleveland's final two drives, allowing the Jets to hold on for the 23-16 victory. "We had exactly what we needed to win this game. And I didn't do good enough. That's it."
Due to contact tracing from a player testing positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, the Browns had to play without their top four wide receivers.
