Baker Mayfield Takes Shot at Browns Fans Who Booed Him During Win vs. Lions

Baker Mayfield didn't seem bothered by the fans who booed him during the Cleveland Browns' 13-10 home win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

"Those are probably the same fans who won't be quiet when we're on offense and trying to operate," Mayfield told reporters Monday. "So I don't really care."

Mayfield has been dealing with injuries to his left shoulder, foot and knee that limited him the past few weeks, but he played every offensive snap for the Browns in the Week 11 win. 

The quarterback also said he expects to start next Sunday against the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens after avoiding any significant setbacks from the Lions game.

Though Mayfield has showed impressive toughness by remaining on the field, his play is worthy of criticism. The fourth-year player finished Sunday with 176 yards on 15-of-29 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Over the last two games, Mayfield has just a 54.5 passer rating, and the Browns have scored only 20 points.

The boos from the home crowd came after some poor throws Sunday:

Mayfield's questionable play comes as the Browns evaluate whether he is worthy of a long-term deal. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick can be a free agent after the 2022 season.

Despite the quarterback's struggles, Cleveland remains in the playoff hunt at 6-5, with an important divisional battle upcoming against the first-place Ravens. It seems Mayfield has not lost confidence even after losing some fan support in recent weeks.
