Baker Mayfield first touchdown pass in 2021 is a beauty (video)
By Randy Gurzi
Baker Mayfield didn’t get his first touchdown pass of 2021 until the third quarter of Week 2 but it proved to be one of the best scores of the season
Week 2 has brought us an interesting game for Cleveland Browns star quarterback Baker Mayfield.
He scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard run in the second quarter which tied the game up at 14. This came after he had to head to the locker room with a shoulder injury ‚— which came off his second pick of the young season.
Mayfield was intercepted by Justin Reid after rookie Anthony Schwartz stopped on a route. The quarterback was injured when making a tackle and for a brief moment, it appeared the fourth-year player could miss some time.
That didn’t happen as Mayfield returned to lead his team to a score and then in the third quarter, he finally got his first touchdown pass. Although, much of the credit goes to rookie Demetric Felton who took a screen pass 33 yards to the house.

Cleveland was sluggish early in this game and even fell behind 14-7 after Tyrod Taylor ran in a 15-yard touchdown to give the Texans a lead over his former team.
Taylor appeared to hurt himself on that play and then the hamstring issue became worse as he stayed in the locker room after that half. Rookie Davis Mills has struggled in his place and threw a pick to linebacker Malcolm Smith after the Felton touchdown.

Cleveland is looking to go to 1-1 on the season and is in good shape as the third quarter inches to a close.
