Baker Mayfield and the Browns went down to Tennessee on Sunday and had their way with the Titans in a showdown between two teams with strong records that will likely be in the playoffs next month.
Seriously, this one was pretty much over at halftime as Mayfield threw all four of his touchdown passes in the first 30 minutes and the Browns went into the break up by 31 points.
They had to hold on a little in the second half before getting the 41-35 win to improve to 9-3, but this one was never really in doubt.
After the game Mayfield was asked what’s different about him from earlier in the season when he was making lots of mistakes. The QB then quoted Dwight Schrute from “The Office” by saying:
“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think: ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if they would, then I don’t do that.”
The was great:

Here’s Dwight Schrute saying it:
That’s still some really good life advice right there.
