1. Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield turned in a another dud, with his friend, former teammate and fellow Heisman winner outplaying him on the other side of the field.

His numbers looked better than they were, largely because Arizona conceded everything to the Browns on their final 91-yard scoring drive, which resulted in a touchdown pass to Ricky Seals-Jones. Mayfield was 30-of-43 for 247 yards and two Tis.

Most notably, Mayfield was intercepted on the Browns opening drive when Cleveland was looking to tie the score at 7. He overthrew OBJ by a mile, as we all wonder what happened to the savior we saw at this exact same time a year ago.

Mayfield averaged 5.5 yards per pass attempt as his performance resembled his season: He was up, he was down. He missed receivers, but at the same time, his wideouts failed him to make catches.

Thiss was supposed to be a revenge game for the guy who carries the biggest chip on his shoulder. Mayfield was playing his old college coach who didn’t believe in him. If he was going to beat someone, this was it!

Yes, he talked about how the hatchet was buried, but we’ve learned enough about Baker. Do you really think that’s true?

But to come out and play that poorly with the playoffs on the line against someone who at one point basically said: “I don’t believe in you.” Well, talk about a flop. I guess he only gets up for Hue Jackson coached teams.
