Former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield has huge game in historic loss to Baltimore

Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield had a huge game in an instant classic loss to Baltimore on Monday Night Football.

One of the most highly-anticipated games of the NFL season took place Monday night in Cleveland with the Browns hosting the division rival Baltimore Ravens.

It lived up to the hype…and then some. The game will go down forever as one of the most wild displays on Monday Night Football that any of us have ever witnessed with the Ravens winning a circus game 47-42 behind a late Justin Tucker field goal to give them the lead with just two seconds remaining.

Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield did everything he could going 27/46 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns in the brutal loss for the Browns. Down 35-34 late in the fourth quarter, Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with another former Sooner in wide receiver Marquise Brown for a 44-yard touchdown to give them the lead.

Mayfield would engineer a drive right down the field and hit running back Kareem Hunt for a 22-yard touchdown pass to tie the game with just over a minute remaining.

But, that was too much time left on the clock as Jackson led the Ravens’ offense back down the field for the game-winning field goal.

It was an instant classic that won’t soon be forgotten by NFL fans, and while the loss severely hurts Cleveland’s hopes at a division crown this showing was still good enough to earn the respect of may critics around the country.

More primetime football is ahead for Mayfield and the Browns as they’ll look to bounce back next Sunday night as they hit the road to face the New York Giants.
