Baker Mayfield Cites 'Drama Within the Building' for Browns' Early-Season Woes

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield shed some light on what led to a 2-6-1 start to the 2018 season.

Mayfield explained Wednesday that the Browns were dealing with turmoil behind closed doors as the team struggled on the field, per USA Today's Lorenzo Reyes:

"There's a lot of stuff from behind the scenes that I don't even need to get into because that's in the past and I'm focused on the future. I think everything happens for a reason. And there's a reason we weren't playing well when all of that was going on.
