BEREA, Ohio — Baker Mayfield completed his media session without incident and even sported the same mustache he woke up wearing.
At this point, those two things are considered progress for the Browns’ struggling second-year quarterback.
With Cleveland mired in a four-game losing streak inside a season unexpectedly unraveling, Mayfield projected a buttoned-down image on Wednesday as the Browns (2-6) prepared to host the Buffalo Bills (6-2) on Sunday.
Following practice, Mayfield spoke deliberately and objectively while discussing the team’s struggles, his own performance and his hopes of salvaging the season.
No swagger. No sarcasm.
