BEREA, Ohio -- Baker Mayfield was incredulous that referee Shawn Hochuli announced it was OK for the Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback to be hit in the head because he was a runner.
"No words," Mayfield said Wednesday of Hochuli's announcement during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "Honestly, no words."
Hochuli's statement came after officials picked up a flag, which was thrown when Mayfield was hit in the head by Bucs safety Jordan Whitehead. Mayfield had slid at the end of a 35-yard run on second-and-26 in the fourth quarter.
