Baker Mayfield and the Browns host Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday in Cleveland, and everyone wants to talk about their Oklahoma-Texas Tech game of 2016. But if we’re going to focus on something other than Mayfield/Mahomes 2018, the best direction is forward, not backward. The future, not the past.
Mahomes is a blossomed quarterback star, mentioned prominently as an NFL MVP candidate. Mayfield is the great Brown hope, a rookie quarterback who has instilled vigor and vitality to the woebegone Browns.
Kansas City and Cleveland aren’t annual opponents but have a 50-50 chance of playing each season.
