Well.....good stop!

Ridiculous flag on the Landry TD

Are Giants trying to win?

14-9 would be decent

Nice to watch a CLEAN game.

Browns pass protect is A+

I did not know about this option to take penalty yardage on the xp.

And it ends up hurting us......Landry....... just play

Parkey is a liability. Baker looks solid

Again, Landry seems to have taken over as the resident loudmouth while OBJ is out.

I feel no way that ref from where he was could hear anything Kabsry may have said....didn’t appear like he said it loud either.

Like every other QB in the NFL...you have to get to BM

Oline has kept him off his backside very well of late

Nice drive all around there! Great to see them overcoming penalties that used to kill the momentum. 

Nice win. Baker is one of the best QBs in the league when he has time/a lane to throw. One of the worst when pressured. O-Line has been great, but don’t ever go an off-season without investing in it. This season has proven that.

Colts held on again...Texans fumble at the goal line. Texans have done this 2-3 times now 

I keep forgetting that if the Browns win next week and one of either the Colts, Ravens or Dolphins lose that they are in. I expect the Ravens & Dolphins to win (think LV has quit) but the Colts vs Steelers could be a coin flip.

As far as the game goes, Mayfield has turned into a stud QB. Shame they lost 5 yards on that screen to Hunt or he would've had a three game 300+ yards streak. Mayfield had a 135+ passer rating in the 1st half for the 4th time this year. Only Aaron Rodgers has more with 6.

Good to see Myles finally make an appearance at the end. That Covid seems to still be kicking his ass.

Really pleased with the work of Nick Harris, filling in for Hubbard, who was filling in for Teller. Between Harris & DPJ, Berry may have hit on a few late rounders.

With this win the Browns have clinched the NFC East.

Baker was great. Kill the Jets next week. 

DPJ making plays in the league may be the biggest indication Harbaugh sucks. His best game was, what, a 4-catch outing vs OSU?? But he is fast, tall,  good hands and runs solid routes. Unreal Harbaugh couldn’t get him involved at UofM!

Nice win. 

Keep it going. 

kept me alive in my knockout pool (it's double elim - I lost a few weeks ago)....still felt dirty rooting for CLE, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do when it comes to money.

CLE has been looking pretty good.  We'll see if PIT just wasn't burnout and worn down from all the schedule changes and 3 games in 12 days.  I do, however, think the dink-n-dunk with Ben is sandbagging.  His deep balls have not been good, but his intermediate game is still elite.

Great win and if we are not going to be AFC north champs, we can at least claim the NFC East title.

He’s starting to improve while under pressure too.

And the AFC South title too

And one day he might even be more than a mediocre QB...

Joking aside, in the modern NFL you might perhaps be able to win in the playoffs with a guy like Mayfield.  But the pressure stats tell you he's not a gamer, and actually a weakness you need to mask.

Is there a scenario at 12-4 that the Browns would win a tiebreak over 12-4 Steelers? They’ve clinched a better division record than us, so it would require the Steelers to lose out in order for Cleveland to jump, right?

Right.

The Browns can't win any tiebreaker over the Steelers. The Browns need a better record, so the Browns need the Bengals to at least get a tie tonight to stay alive in the division race.

Since week 7, Mayfield is the second highest graded QB in the NFL (PFF rankings)...

On the Podcast last night @PFF_George said that, since W7 (can't think why he chose that week ;-) ), Baker Mayfield was the 2nd highest graded QB in the NFL ... Not that I doubted him but I ran the numbers anyway : pic.twitter.com/WHS5IvZit1

We know things are starting to improve for Baker, if the criticism has shifted to how he handles pressure.  That's next level stuff, that even the best can't do well at times.  He is improving  under pressure, and hopefully he continues to improve.
