Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 21 of 37 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Cleveland’s 32-23 win over Indianapolis in Week 5 of NFL action.
The Colts led the Browns 7-3 early in the second quarter when Mayfield found running back Kareem Hunt in the back of the end zone for a touchdown to give Cleveland the lead.

During the game, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky paid Mayfield the ultimate compliment regarding his progression as a passer this season.
The growth this season that @bakermayfield has shown with his pocket feel/presence has been freaking remarkable. Shoot since week 1. Itâs like watching Brees-great ownership of that space-when to move and where-without panic but poise! @Browns

The Browns have won four consecutive games and are 4-1 for the first time since 1994 when Bill Belichick was head coach, and Nick Saban served as defensive coordinator.
The Browns and Baltimore Ravens both sit at 4-1 on the season, a half-game behind AFC North leader 4-03Pittsburgh.
The Browns travel to Pittsburgh next week to face the Steelers with an opportunity to move into first place in the division.
