Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns defeated Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals 35-30 on Thursday evening.
After the game, Mayfield praised his adversary's performance, telling reporters (h/t ESPN's Jake Trotter) that "the hype is real" in regards to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
Burrow arrived in the NFL after leading the LSU Tigers to a 15-0 record and a national championship during a 2019 season in which he threw for 60 touchdown passes and won the Heisman Trophy.
He's looked the part in the pros, too, as evidenced by Thursday's showing.
