Former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield tosses 40-yard TD pass in first career playoff game

Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield tossed a 40-yard touchdown pass in his first career playoff game on Sunday night.

Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield is at the helm of one of the biggest Cleveland Browns games in decades as they battle the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs.

The game is off to a dream start for the Browns, as they had a defensive touchdown on a botched snap by the Steelers to grab a quick 7-0 lead. Then, after a Ben Roethlisberger interception, Mayfield connected with Jarvis Landry on a 40-yard touchdown pass to push the lead out even more.

In Mayfield’s first ever playoff game, this is an absolutely perfect start. He has completed four of his five passes for 62 yards and the touchdown in the early going.

Cleveland holds a commanding 21-0 lead midway through the first quarter in Pittsburgh.
