Baker Mayfield Outduels Joe Burrow as Browns Beat Bengals; Beckham Jr. Scores TD

The Cleveland Browns got in the win column after beating the visiting Cincinnati Bengals 35-30 at FirstEnergy Stadium on Thursday.

Browns running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt combined for 234 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns to lead the Cleveland offense. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw a pair of touchdowns to Hunt and Odell Beckham Jr., who snatched a 43-yarder to give Cleveland an early 13-3 edge.

Mayfield won the battle of No. 1 overall draft picks with Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow, who Cincinnati took first overall in 2020. Cleveland selected Mayfield to lead the 2018 draft.

Burrow was largely excellent, however, throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns.
