Baker Mayfield downplays death threats after Packers loss

CLEVELAND - Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield downplayed death threats he received following his four-interception performance at Green Bay, and called social media critics "keyboard warriors that make empty threats."

Mayfield didn't provide details on the threats, which were first revealed in an Instagram post earlier this week by his wife, Emily. She also lamented "lies" and "blatant disrespect" aimed at her husband.

Mayfield, who has had a stormy, injury-slowed fourth season in Cleveland, threw a career-high four picks in a 24-22 loss to the Packers on Christmas.
