Browns 1st And Goal Report: Hunt Return Will Be Difference


3rd and Goal: Baker Mayfield needs to manage the game, not try and win it on his own
In the six games that the Browns quarterback has played Baltimore, he tends to throw the ball a lot. In the last matchup a year ago he threw the ball 47 times. That’s way too many throws and Browns coach Stefanski should know better. The Browns are a run-first type team and that’s how they win. If Stefanski gives Mayfield 47 pass plays in this game then I’ll guarantee you a loss for the Browns because Mayfield is not ready to win a game like this one with his arm. If instead, Stefanski has Mayfield hand the ball off an equal amount of times as they pass, then the Browns win.
