BEREA, Ohio -- The last time he was in Pittsburgh, quarterback Baker Mayfield took a knee to clinch the Cleveland Browns' first playoff victory in 26 years.
As Mayfield galloped off Heinz Field, game ball still in hand, Cleveland's other former No. 1 overall pick, Myles Garrett, was waiting. The two met in midair, bumping shoulders in celebration.
At that moment, it felt as if all doubt about Mayfield had been removed. Having wandered aimlessly through the quarterbacking wilderness for decades, the Browns finally had found their franchise passer.
