Baker Mayfield set to face Browns with Buccaneers on Sunday

Baker Mayfield will confront his former team, the Cleveland Browns, on Sunday in Tampa, Florida. This matchup will feature Deshaun Watson, the quarterback whose arrival in Cleveland prompted Mayfield's trade request in 2022. Ken Zampese, a Buccaneers assistant and former Browns coach, stated that Cleveland 'had the guy' in Mayfield and 'gave him up'. Memories of Mayfield's playoff success with the Browns in 2020 continue to resonate, though a shoulder injury hindered his performance in 2021. The current situation comes after Mayfield's positive turnaround with the Los Angeles Rams last season following his release from Carolina. He aims to build on that momentum this weekend.
