You just know how to win

Rashard Higgins said it to Baker Mayfield after the rookie led the Browns on a late-game touchdown drive against the Bills.

"“You just know how win, bro!”"

It truly is impressive how Mayfield’s performed. Through just two preseason games, he’s impressed many with his maturity.

Those who thought he was another Johnny Manziel are quickly converting.

Early in the episode, Mayfield talked about the game slowing down, which is exactly what you want to hear from the guy your franchise is banking its hopes on.

Additionally, how can you not love his on-field attitude.

“We got to get more than an [expletive] field goal,” Mayfield said.

As the Browns were about to punch in a touchdown from the 1-yard line, Mayfield was begging to run a quarterback draw. Haley didn’t bite, letting Chubb run it in.

“I’ve seen that one before, and usually I don’t like them but today I do,” Mayfield said.

Mayfield’s Oklahoma team played Chubb’s Georgia squad earlier in the year during the College Football Playoff.

Baker oozes a winning attitude. It’s not just talk with, as Browns’ fans have seen in so many quarterbacks before him. I’m not saying he should start, but the future has never been so promising for the Browns.
