Mayfield completed 21 of 39 passes for 189 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Browns' 38-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed twice for three yards.
For all the talk about a much more structured and likely efficient offense under new coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns and Mayfield disappointingly began the 2020 campaign looking like they did much of 2019 under one-and-done head man Freddie Kitchens. Mayfield's lackluster line was representative of the caliber of performance he put forth, and naturally the quality of his opponent had a part to play in his struggles as well. The third-year quarterback took two sacks overall, and while he was able to connect with nine different pass catchers, he averaged a meager 4.8 yards per attempt. Mayfield and his teammates will look to regroup quickly, as another AFC North battle awaits Thursday night at home against the Bengals in Week 2.
