his mind. He’ll continue to do it.Mayfield tells Mike Tirico of NBC’s that Mayfield has not considered being less candid than he was in college.“No Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey ,” Mayfield said. “I think that’s what catches people off guard. I’m not going to apologize for being me. I truly do pride myself on being completely transparent and honest about how I feel.”“There’s almost a quarterback handbook,” Tirico replied. “‘Don’t give anybody anything bad to put up on their bulletin board.’ You don’t subscribe to that handbook.”“I definitely don’t,” Mayfield said. “I don’t fit in the guidelines and not a lot of people like that. I think that’s where the reaction comes from on the outside, but that’s okay — I’m not really worried about it.”Indeed he isn’t.

Green was out again with a toe injury, and Randall had a hand in making his prediction hold up.He picked off Dalton in the second quarter, ran out of bounds and handed the ball to Jackson , who was fired last month by the Browns. Jackson responded by tapping him on the helmet."He just said thank you for the ball," Randall said.Mayfield was at the center of it all, completing 14 of 18 passes as the Browns surged ahead by 21 points. He was coming off his best game, a three-TD performance during a 28-16 win over Atlanta that sent Cleveland into its bye week.Mayfield finished 19 of 26 for 258 yards as the Browns essentially ran out the clock in the second half, when he threw only four passes. The first half reminded him of his high-scoring games at Oklahoma."A little bit, yeah David Njoku Jersey ," he said. "Everything seemed to be working. But that's the way we want it here in Cleveland." Dalton hurt the thumb on his passing hand while trying to recover a fumble in the third quarter and didn't return.

Dalton was 10 of 17 for 100 yards with a touchdown and an interception.From the opening drive, it was all Cleveland. The Browns' 28 first-half points were their most since 1991, when they scored 31 against the Colts."It hurts," Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd said.
