Baker's time: Browns confirm Mayfield as starter

After sitting on an announcement since their first win in more than a year, the Cleveland Browns made it official that rookie Baker Mayfield will start Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.

Browns coach Hue Jackson announced Mayfield as the team's starter Monday after practice and an opportunity to meet with the No. 1 overall draft pick and veteran Tyrod Taylor.

Taylor was injured in Thursday night's game against the New York Jets and was replaced by Mayfield, who helped the Browns erase a 14-point deficit and record their first win since Dec.
