Baker Mayfield was in a matchup Sunday with the quarterback he displaced in Cleveland.
For much of the first half, the Houston Texans’ Tyrod Taylor had the edge.
In fact, on an interception, the Browns’ faithful held its collective breath as it appeared their star quarterback had suffered an injury to his shoulder.

He’s tough, though, and Mayfield returned to the game and completed a Cleveland TD drive with his feet and not with his arm.
Watch as he reaches the end zone for the touchdown that tied the game, after the PAT, at the half, 14-14.
No. 6️⃣ is in for 6️⃣. @bakermayfield #Browns

Mayfield’s run matched a TD run Taylor had five-plus minutes earlier that had given Houston the lead.
