NFL: NOV 14 Browns at Patriots

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had to exit Sunday’s blowout loss to the Patriots in the second half, but apparently could have returned to the game if it hadn’t been decided.

It doesn’t seem like Mayfield is dealing with anything too serious based on head coach Kevin Stefanski’s comments in his Monday press conference.

“Baker is day-to-day with his knee, but feeling good about where he is this morning,” Stefanski said, via sports radio 92.3 The Fan.

Stefanski added that the Browns have ruled out ligament injury to Mayfield’s knee.

Mayfield left the contest midway through the third quarter after edge rusher Matthew Judon put a hard hit on him. He was able to make it to the medical tent under his own power.

Backup QB Case Keenum finished the contest for Cleveland.

After a strong, two-touchdown performance against Cincinnati in Week Nine, Mayfield played poorly on Sunday. He completed just 11-of-21 passes for 73 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

In nine games this year, Mayfield has completed 65.4 percent of his throws for 1,990 yards with nine TDs and four picks.

The Browns play the Lions in Week 11.

  1. Torn labrum, fractured arm, bad foot and now a bad knee. I wonder why he’s not playing well consistently?

  2. From a purely football perspective, it’s such a pleasure to watch Bill work over these guys who can’t read defenses. Baker clearly had no idea what he was looking at yesterday.

  3. Baker needs to stick to making commercials with Emily. He has a knack for those. As an NFL QB, meh, not so much

  4. Mayfield needs to shut it down for the rest of the season. He’s a walking hospital ward. Opposing defenses know that he’s one hit away from the IR, and they will do everything they can to oblige.

  5. Without that absolutely ridiculous roughing the passer call against Wise on third down (not as bad as that call in the Saints game, but pretty bad), the drive would have ended and Mayfield wouldnt have gotten injured 2 plays later. Just saying.

  6. Would you rather take Baker at 20mm/ yr or Lamar at 40mm/ yr? I think the answer is obvious but I’m curious. To me it’s all about that salary cap hit and what it does to a roster over time, especially for QBs that need lots of weapons. As both do.

    That’s tough to do in a contract year.

  8. Fourth round quarterback at best and not even close to first overall pick. Kirk Cousins 2.0.

  9. Too many sacks, holds the ball too long. I am surprised he hasn’t figured this out yet after 3 yrs in the NFL

  10. Mayfield took a dive. There is no way he hurt his knee. I saw it live and on replay and there is no way he got hurt on the play in question. Belichick had him baffled, see 11-21 for 73 yards 1 TD and 1 INT. Seriously the rest of the NFL will laugh at the Browns if they give him a big contract. He is not an NFL starting QB. The guy who drafted him, John Dorsey, bizarrely compared him to both Brett Favre and Chase Daniels. He is nothing like Brett Favre, and everything like Chase Daniels. The Browns is the Browns

  11. So Stefanski says he’s day to day, but he feels good where he is this morning. That’s all the proof you need to know Mayfield begged out of the game.

  12. Baker Mayfield is currently day to day, and will more than likely end up being team to team
