The Cleveland Browns kicked off their final preseason game of the year against the Atlanta Falcons. Baker Mayfield and a select number of Browns starters have seen the field so far.
The Falcons, on the other hand, have sat some of their key players like Matt Ryan, Calvin Ridley and Grady Jarrett. Rookie tight end Kyle Pitts looked good on a big play for Atlanta early before their first drive stalled.
Early in the game, Cleveland played well with a good screen, a few solid runs and a couple of passes from Mayfield.
On their second possession, Mayfield found KhaDarel Hodge a couple of times including this perfectly placed throw for a touchdown:

Mayfield’s ability to flip his hips and get the ball exactly where he wanted was impressive in what could be his final play in the preseason.
