Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has five touchdown passes and 11 interceptions through six games this season. He has a completion percentage of 56.6 percent compared to last years 63.8 percent. Last year, he broke the rookie passing touchdown record with 27 touchdowns while also tossing 14 interceptions. So what has changed?
Scheme? Probably not. Freddie Kitchens was promoted because he said he wouldn’t stay unless he was the head coach. Play-calling? Well, the Browns are throwing the ball three times less per game compared to last year: 36 passes per game in 2018 to 33 in 2019 so far.
