The Cleveland Browns quarterback has been named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week.
Baker Mayfield had himself a good day against the Tennessee Titans. Perhaps it was the best game of his career. Mayfield’s performance in the Week 13’s win led to the third year quarterback being named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week.
Baker Mayfield completed 25 of 33 pass attempts for 334 yards and 4 touchdowns. Mayfield also had 4 rushes for 5 yards and even caught a pass for 6 yards. The 25-year old quarterback did something he has not done much this season, carry the team to victory. This was the first time that Mayfield eclipsed the 300 yard mark after narrowly missing it in the Week 7 win over the Bengals.
The way the Browns offense is designed it does not rely on Baker Mayfield to put up these type of numbers, so when he does it is best to take notice. There have been games when Mayfield has put up decent numbers, but when watching the game he did not necessarily perform all that well. This was not the case against the Titans as he performed at a level that has not yet been seen. Baker putting the team on his back and propelling the team to victory was not expected, the fact it was done this well was extremely impressive. Mayfield is more than deserving of the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week Award.
