21. Cleveland Browns

However it’s done, the Cleveland Browns will take any win they can when looking at how the last couple of seasons have been, and after letting a Week 4 loss to the Oakland Raiders slip away, this team came up big against the Baltimore Ravens. Thanks to the history between these two teams, there have been times in which the Browns bring out the best of themselves when facing the Ravens, and even though it was ugly, Sunday’s win was huge.

Even though he led the team to a victory a few weeks back after replacing Tyrod Taylor, this marked Baker Mayfield’s first career win as the starter, making the Browns feel much better about their selection from back in April. The rookie quarterback took some heat a week ago when Mayfield recorded four turnovers in an overtime loss to the Raiders, but in a way, this year was supposed to be a learning experience anyway.

Now that he’s got that first official win under his belt, Mayfield can hopefully use this as a way to boost his confidence moving forward. And who knows, maybe Cleveland will actually continue surprising a lot of teams in the AFC since they already have two wins at this point in the regular season.
