Cleveland Browns Week 11 grades: A win is win no matter how ugly

The Cleveland Browns didn’t get a pretty victory on Sunday but it still is recorded as a win and that has this team still passing

A win is a win and no it wasn’t a good-looking win, but they all count the same at the end of the day. The Cleveland Browns got one of those types of wins in their win against the Detroit Lions Sunday when they hung on for the 13-10 victory.

Football is a game that’s won by having a good team effort. Sometimes, not every member of that team plays their best, but they can have their supporting cast and teammates helping them through those tough moments.

There has been plenty said about Baker Mayfield following a game where he was far from his best. Some out there in the land of social media can’t help themselves and are saying that Mayfield was a poor sport for walking off the field after the game and then not speaking to media after that.

Have you ever had a bad day at work? If you are honest with yourself, you’ll admit to at least a few of those over the days, months, or years. Sometimes, when you’re angry or frustrated, maybe because of a mistake you made or a disagreement you have with a coworker or boss, it’s not the best to react off of the negative emotional state you’re in and rather cool down and regroup.

That’s what Mayfield did.

Mayfield now is 29-27 in his tenure as the Browns quarterback, the best we’ve seen in these parts for decades. We will dissect the different parts of the team and give them their earned grade for the game next but try to remember, that a football game is not won or lost because of one player, even if that player happens to be Baker Mayfield.
