1. November 25th, 2018: Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals, Browns win 35-20

This was the third most satisfying game for Browns fans to watch, only beaten by the Browns beatdown of the Ravens, and the Thursday night win over the Steelers. Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns were up against recently fired head coach Hue Jackson and his Cincinnati Bengals.

Every Browns player came into this game with a vendetta. Former Browns defensive back Damarious Randall even handed Hue Jackson the ball after intercepting a pass from Andy Dalton, which you can watch by clicking here. While many may remember the game for that, Baker Mayfield had an absolute field day against his former coach.

Mayfield completed 19 of his 26 passes for 256 yards and four touchdown passes, his 73 percent completion percentage ranks among the best of a single game in his NFL career so far. After being underutilized by Hue Jackson and his staff, Baker came out to prove them wrong for starting Tyrod Taylor over him, and he did just that.

Three of his four touchdown passes came in the first half, starting with a 13-yard touchdown pass to former wide receiver Antonio Callaway. After that, he was able to hit David Njoku on a six-yard touchdown pass at the beginning of the 2nd quarter, then a 14-yard touchdown pass to Nick Chubb to finish off his great half. After all of that, he was then able to also find the former tight end, Darren Fells, for a six-yard touchdown pass at the beginning of the 3rd quarter.

This game was a dominating victory for the Cleveland Browns and was the best I have seen Baker Mayfield play so far in a Browns uniform. From start to finish he was lights out. This is the Baker Mayfield the Browns should be hoping for in 2020, and this is the Baker Mayfield that I think they will get.

Mayfield is not a quarterback who is going to thrive off of putting the ball in the air 50 times a game. Coach Kevin Stefanski will put him in positions where he can throw the ball 20-30 times a game and be at his max efficiency.
