5 Browns whose stock is through the roof after spanking Steelers

1. Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield’s stock continues to rise, as the former No. 1 pick now has a road playoff victory on his resume. For a player eligible for a contract extension after the season, that’s a great place to start in negotiations.

Pro Football Focus described Mayfield as near perfect in victory, even though he really didn’t make any ‘”big-time” throws.

Mayfield was 21-of-34 with 263 yards and three touchdowns, posting a QBR of 92.8. Sunday night’s game was Baker at hist best, as Mayfield never forced anything, completing passes to seven different receivers.

It’s also worth pointing out how Mayfield helped with his legs. Pittsburgh scored a late first-half touchdown to get on the scoreboard, making it 28-7. You could feel the momentum starting to shift.

On 3rd and 6 from the Cleveland 40, Mayfield scrambled to the left, running right toward the first down marker. Six plays later, the Browns were the end zone.
