Baker Mayfield and the Browns lost the game, but won in a different way

The Cleveland Browns fell to the rival Baltimore Ravens 47-42 in what just might be the game of the year for the 2020 NFL season. Despite their defense providing the approximate resistance of a wet paper bag, Cleveland’s offense mounted multiple fourth-quarter comebacks spurred by a brilliant performance from quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has all but re-established himself as the team’s franchise quarterback and one of the league’s best passers since Week 7.
