Mayfield not afraid to confront Browns' top WRs

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has already shown he's not afraid to get after his star wide receivers.

Over the weekend, Mayfield briefly screamed at his receiving corps for not working their way back to him while he was scrambling.

Mayfield explained Wednesday that blowing up on them that way was about getting on the same page as an offense.

"Those guys know that's a big part of our offense. And they know that," said Mayfield, who can be a prolific playmaker through the air scrambling outside the pocket. "It's just the fact that if we get lazy and let things slide -- we need to be open to communicating right now.
