Is Baker Mayfield holding the Browns back? FrontOffice33 | Browns
The Cleveland Browns are a mess. Saturday's Christmas day two-point loss to the Green Bay Packers delivered a catastrophic blow to Cleveland's postseason chances. Per, the soul-crushing defeat saw the Browns' playoff chances plummet to a grim 11%. A rambunctious and demanding fan base entered 2021 largely expecting a second consecutive postseason berth, but those hopes are now looking likely to go unsatisfied.
It unfortunately accurately represents a larger issue with the 2021 iteration of Mayfield, who has held the Browns back from competing at a more effective and efficient rate. Saturday's loss is on Mayfield, but the problem extends far beyond Cleveland's latest failure. Mayfield's interception issues seem to be getting worse as the year goes by. He's thrown eight of his 11 interceptions in his last five appearances—while Saturday's four-interception showing may inflate those numbers, he's thrown at least one interception in four of those five showings, including two multi-turnover games within that time frame.
