Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield started out Sunday the way he ended last week. The former Heisman winner completed 6-of-6 passes for 133 yards early on against the Carolina Panthers.
That included this ridiculous 51-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry.
HOW?!?! 😱

How Mayfield was able to actually thread the needle remains to be seen. Mayfield tossed the rock with two defenders covering Landry. Even then, he was able to convert a third-and-17 with a touchdown.
The rookie continues to play some stellar football. And he has the Browns playing their best football of the past decade-plus.
What a difference one player makes.
