Cleveland Browns: 3 Bold predictions for Baker Mayfield in Week 14 vs. Ravens
By Randy Gurzi
1. A fourth-quarter drive seals the win
The Cleveland Browns win in Week 13 was huge because they were able to defeat a team that many felt was superior in the Tennessee Titans. It also put to rest the notion that Cleveland couldn’t win against the top-tier teams which was unfair for two reasons.
One is that they shouldn’t have to apologize for their schedule. Yes, they lost to Baltimore and Pittsburgh in ugly fashion but outside of that, they handled business against just about every team they were supposed to.
Another reason it was unfair is due to them already knocking off a winning team in the Indianapolis Colts. They also won a shootout against the Dallas Cowboys while Dak Prescott was still healthy. No, this Cowboys team wasn’t exactly dominant but they were still considered a superior team when the two played.
No matter what is said about those wins, the Browns aren’t going to get any respect until they start to routinely get wins over divisional rivals such as Baltimore and Pittsburgh. This final bold prediction is that not only do they win, but Mayfield is able to lead them on a key fourth-quarter drive that puts the game away.

Pundits might move the needle again, as they like to do when Cleveland wins, but at least a win here will eliminate one of the knocks on them.
