Last night, Baker Mayfield became a Cleveland sports legend when he came in and led the Browns to an epic second half comeback which ended up being the team’s first win in nearly two years.
The Browns get their first win since December 24, 2016, a span of 635 days.
Baker Mayfield joins John Elway, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, and Jeff George as the only rookie QBs taken first overall to appear in a 14-point comeback win.

Today, every sports talking head had some sort of take on Mayfield’s performance but none of them were hotter than Fox Sports’ Jason McIntyre who bashed Mayfield for checking his phone after the game.
"My one takeaway from Baker Mayfield, after the game he comes out of the locker room and he had his phone IN his hand, when you look at NFL quarterbacks after the game they don't have their phone"

“My one takeaway from Baker Mayfield, did you see after the game he comes out of the locker room to get on the NFL networkd set and he had his phone IN his hand. When you look at NFL quarterbacks after the game they don’t have their phone”
Baker Mayfield’s first thought was man, I got that win I gotta get on social media and see what people are saying about me.
Of course McIntyre got absolutely destroyed for his ridiculous take on Mayfield.

This is the kind of goofy, backwards ass take you get when you give two middle-aged men who have never played a sport at a major level a national platform 😂 https://t.co/4TS0PRNsit

Starting a podcast about the @NFL when you're from Scotland and you have not grown up on the sports since a young age, I sometimes wonder if I know enough to have a solid conversation worth hearing.
Shambles like this give me faith. I'm doing ok…..

Your QB clearly has character issues. HE OWNS A CELL PHONE & USES IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. https://t.co/RFqTGGdHT9
