Hurting Mayfield, Browns score late, outduel Bengals 37-34

Associated Press  

CINCINNATI — Baker Mayfield brushed aside all the outside noise about his dismal performance last week. What are you talking about?” Mayfield quipped after throwing five touchdown passes and leading the Browns past the Cincinnati Bengals 37-34 on Sunday. He didn’t back down, and every time I looked at him on the sideline he had that steely look in his eyes.” Mayfield, roundly slammed after a poor performance in Cleveland’s loss to Pittsburgh last week, engineered the win without injured running back Nick Chubb, tight end Austin Hooper and receiver Odell Beckham, who left Sunday’s game early with a knee injury and didn’t return. But the Bengals’ defense couldn’t stop Mayfield, and Browns receivers who made some great catches as they worked down the field. Their offensive line took another blow when they lost more starters to injuries in Sunday’s game: OT Jonah Williams and C Trey Hopkins in the second quarter.
