5 Cleveland Browns whose stock is down after great escape vs Lions

1. Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield

It doesn’t feel right including him here, but a 58.2 passer rating? Yes, he’s injured, but when it comes down to it, he’s been awful.

To make matters worse, he was being booed by his home crowd after throwing a fourth-quarter interception. Case Keenum could’ve beat the Lions, 13-10, hope it was worth it, Browns.

Now, his wife is trying to divide the locker room.

The Browns offense started off as a Lambo, but has since been traded in for a Yugo. Remember when a lack of a vertical passing game was the Browns’ problem? Now, the phrase “passing game” feels like a foreign language.

Thank the football overlords for tight ends, because if it weren’t for them, there’d be no one to throw to. Jarvis Landry had four catches for 26 yards. I know, I know, his TD run was cool, but he’s averaged less than 8.0 per catch.

I’m still haunted by the Steelers loss, when coach Mike Tomlin basically said he stacked the box in an effort to make Mayfield beat them from the pocket. He wasn’t as injured then, as he is now, and he proved Tomlin right.
