As the Browns struggle to remain in playoff contention, fan treatment of Baker Mayfield has gone way beyond what is acceptable, according to the quarterback's wife, Emily.
After the team's close loss to the Packers, Emily Mayfield took to Instagram to defend her husband.
“The death threats, lies being told about my husband, and blatant DISRESPECT never ceases to amaze me,” she wrote in a story post on Tuesday.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski addressed the alleged threats Thursday, noting the team is equipped to handle such a situation.
“If it rises to the level of that, certainly we can help address those type of things,” Stefanski told the media, when asked about Emily's post.
