Baker Mayfield is seemingly trapped in the Bermuda Triangle and, in there, it’s not simply the loss column he can’t escape lately.
This time, after struggling wildly in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, it’s the father of running back Kareem Hunt who’s taking his shots at the Browns quarterback while insisting he’s nothing like Beckham Sr.
“I’m stating facts on football and what we see: he’s limping, he’s scared to throw the ball and they know he’s hurt.
There’s something about that added “hopefully” that adds a bit more sting to his comments.
Currently working himself to full health while still starting games for the Browns, Mayfield finished the loss against the Ravens completing only 18 of his 37 pass attempts with no touchdowns, and while he didn’t play as poorly as former league MVP Lamar Jackson — who threw four interceptions — it was Jackson who made the big plays when his team needed them most.
If Mayfield can’t rally the troops to a win in two weeks, all eyes will be on Facebook to see what Hunt Sr.
