NFL analyst: It is not all Mayfield’s fault

The Cleveland Browns have stumbled their way through the first eight games of the regular season.

Now, with the club sitting at 2-6 and looking for answers, the blame game has begun among fans and the media.

An overwhelming percentage of the blame has fallen on first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens, which is not surprising since people screaming “fire the coach” is often the easiest (and laziest) take when things go wrong.

But the truth is that there are many culprits at work here, from an offensive line that is operating three players short to a defense that is being mismanaged by defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.
