By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including Baker Mayfield leaving his mom in tears with a Mother’s Day note
Mother’s Day is just around the corner but Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield already has the weekend won. He recently was asked to read a letter he wrote to his mom to honor her for the holiday.
In this letter, Mayfield thanked her for raising him and his brother but also recalled a story of how they had a broken down car but she “never flinched” in getting him to Norman, Oklahoma where he wanted to play football.
The entire time he read it, his mother was in another room listening and teared up at his words. It was a touching tribute and highlights today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

"“Baker Mayfield is known for his brash, not-giving-any-hecks personality that he shows while competing on the football field and also when taking on critics through Twitter.But the Cleveland Browns quarterback has a soft side, and he showed that this week on ESPN when he read a Mothers’ Day letter that he wrote. His mom, Gina, teared up while watching it.”"
Baker Mayfield has received some criticism for how he portrays himself, but those who follow him see he’s a genuine guy who cares about his family. This was a pretty cool segment on ESPN and it was touching to see him and his mom share a good moment together. The full clip can be seen in the tweet below.

"Sure, the Browns are a team on the rise that deserves our attention. On a basic level, there’s nothing wrong with OBJ, Greedy (given name: Andraez), Baker Mayfield, Myles Garrett, et al., to go about their business of trying to win in the NFL with the utmost confidence.But this has become so ridiculous.Try this, Brownies: Win a playoff game."
Bell makes a point that the Browns need to win a playoff game first before talking about Super Bowls — which is why head coach Freddie Kitchens wanted these predictions toned down. Still, it’s a far cry from when they were a team trying to steal a single win in 16 games, so we will take it.
