The Cleveland Browns and quarterback Baker Mayfield dodged a major bullet on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Mayfield injured his ribs during the fourth quarter of the win when he was hit by Colts defensive end Justin Houston on a play that resulted in Mayfield’s second interception of the game. Mayfield landed hard on his right side and came up with his right arm looking hurt.
While he was able to finish the game, and X-rays showed no significant damage to his ribs, Mayfield said he was fortunate that the injury was not more serious, according to ESPN’s Jake Trotter:
“Yeah, kind of the whole right side — everything is intertwined right there.
