Mayfield had a minimal impact in the beginning of the contest till the end of the third quarter due to a primarily defensive game. However, Mayfield's ability to move the Browns’ offense downfield set up scoring opportunities in the kicking and running game.
With seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mayfield was aggressively shoved out of bounds after converting a massive third down. Initially, the Cleveland crowd went silent, as it appeared that Mayfield fell on his previously injured shoulder. Mayfield got right back up and brought the crowd to its feet.
