1. Cleveland may not be the city of champions quite yet, but the Browns’ first victory since the Obama administration has certainly given Northeast Ohio a pleasant jolt of confidence.
Baker Mayfield made his shortly awaited NFL debut after Tyrod Taylor left the game with concussion like symptons.
Baker promptly did exaclty what Browns fans hoped he would. He hit receivers with pinpoint passes while marching the previously inept offense down the field.
Mayfield was not mistake free. He sailed a couple passes and even put one ball on the ground in his first action, but Baker’s field vision, accuracy, and pocket awareness were every bit as impressive as his proponents suggested.
