Baker Mayfield Leads Browns to Epic Comeback in Debut vs. Sam Darnold, Jets

Welcome to the show, Baker Mayfield.

The No. 1 overall pick entered Thursday's game at FirstEnergy Stadium with his team facing a 14-0 deficit against the New York Jets and proceeded to lead a dramatic comeback to give the Cleveland Browns their first win since Christmas Eve 2016. Mayfield finished 17-of-23 for 201 yards, while Carlos Hyde scored the winning touchdown in the 21-17 victory with less than three minutes remaining.

Cleveland is 1-1-1, while New York fell to 1-2 behind No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold after he threw interceptions to Joe Schobert and Terrance Mitchell on what could have been winning drives.
