Scary thought:

The Cleveland #Browns are a competent kicker away from being 3-0 right now.

Competitive football is back in Cleveland!!!

This is what @bakermayfield overcame in his NFL debut: The #Browns were 1-72-1 when trailing by 14 points since 2008. Cleveland trailed 14-0 when Mayfield replaced Tyrod Taylor.

Glad this happened in Cleveland and not on the road. Those fans deserve a chance to celebrate this - not just the win, but it feels like a fresh start w/ Baker now at QB. #Browns

Browns win! browns win! @Browns win... the balance does come. Right mentality driven from within. @bakermayfield has shown it throughout his football career... feel he will take ownership within the #Browns as well. He should be the #Starter ... the difference in tangible
