Mayfield asked the fans to come out and show their support at the home finale against the Bengals. And it resulted in the fans selling out the stadium for the last home game of the 2018 season.
In today’s featured article, one Cleveland writer believes Mayfield is what Cleveland needed and his personality fits perfect with the personality of the city.

"The love affair between Mayfield and the fans began the moment he came bounding off the bench to win the Jets game in Week 3, and continued through Sunday’s 26-18 victory over the Bengals in the home finale that improved the Browns to 7-7-1 overall and 5-2-1 at home."
If it was not obvious how the much Browns fan base loves Mayfield, hearing the entire crowd chant “Baker” at the end of the game Sunday should be all the evidence anyone needs. With the Browns looking to compete for the playoffs in 2019, Mayfield will have an entire city behind him in support.

Gregg Williams has made the Browns coaching search much more complex with the success he is having as the interim head coach. But with one week left in the season, the Browns need to make sure they do their due diligence in finding their next head coach instead of just handing the reins to Williams.
