The Bills fell 19-16 to the Browns in Week 10. It was a tough loss in the playoff picture, but also because plenty of fans from western New York made the trek to the game.
Not meaning to, Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield might have given a little tip of the cap to Bills Mafia earlier this week.
According to Browns Wire, Mayfield made a comment in his his postgame press conference that he believed right tackle Chris Hubbard couldn’t hear his snap count and that’s why he jumped early for a false start just before halftime.
Strange, considering the Browns were the home team.
Earlier this week, Mayfield once again made a comment about that same thing. Inadvertently not seemingly realizing Bills fans travel well.
“When we’re on offense on a critical down, we need to be able to have silence in our home stadium,” Mayfield explained. “It has to be an advantage for us, and then when they get the ball, it has to be really loud. It’s just football.”
Left guard Joel Bitonio seconded Mayfield’s sentiment. Bitonio as Browns Wire notes, “It was a little bit loud a couple times in the red zone there going into the far tunnel.”
Makes you wonder if these fellas didn’t look into the crowd to notice all the red, white and blue in the stands last week.
The Browns might be in trouble again this week, too. They play the Steelers at home, another short road trip for visiting fans, on Thursday Night Football.
