NFL Power Rankings, Week 12: Eagles fall to Saints in embarrassing fashion
By Dan Parzych
25. Cleveland Browns
No matter how this season finishes for the Cleveland Browns, this team has every reason in the world to feel confident about what the future holds. For years, the Browns have desperately trying to find a quarterback around, and it may have only been a few months, but Baker Mayfield seems to be the answer they’ve been waiting for.
Without question, the former Oklahoma star put together his best performance before the bye week to help defeat the Atlanta Falcons, completing 17 of 20 passes for 216 yards with three touchdowns. Take this into consideration with the fact that Nick Chubb is starting to develop into the running back Cleveland has been waiting for, and it looks like this Browns’ offense is going to be in great shape for years to come.
For now, Mayfield and his teammates will just be looking to end the 2018 season on a positive note, starting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in a game that obviously won’t be easy since this rivalry always seems to be intense. The Bengals’ defense isn’t going to make it easy, but at least this will be another good challenge for Mayfield to show how far he’s come along as a rookie.
