CINCINNATI (AP) — As the touchdown passes quickly piled up
Womens Bernie Kosar Jersey , Baker Mayfield felt like he was back at Oklahoma leading his team to another freewheeling win.His new team — the Cleveland Browns — are starting to feel a bit like it’s the good old days, too.Mayfield set a Browns rookie record with four touchdown passes in another growing-up-fast performance, and Cleveland ended one of the NFL’s longest streaks of road futility on Sunday with a 35-20 victory over the hapless Cincinnati Bengals, who lost quarterback Andy Dalton to a thumb injury.Article continues below ...Cleveland (4-6-1) won on the road for the first time since 2015, emphatically snapping a streak of 25 straight road losses that was one shy of the Lions’ NFL record. The Browns also ended a run of seven straight losses to their intrastate rival after trading trash talk on the field beforehand.“We’re tired of being disrespected,” safety Jabrill Peppers said. “Before the game, they said, ‘Why are you talking? You play for the Browns.’ What does that even mean?”Just as unabashed Browns safety Damarious Randall had predicted, it wasn’t even close.The Browns surged ahead 28-0 as former head coach Hue Jackson watched helplessly from the opposite sideline. Jackson couldn’t win with the Browns — only three victories in two-plus seasons. Nor could he beat them as a special defensive assistant with the Bengals (5-6), who lost for the fifth time in six games.The Browns were bothered by the sight of their former coach on the other sideline plotting against them.“Somebody who was in our locker room is asking us to play for him
Womens Denzel Ward Jersey , and then he goes to a different team,” said Mayfield, who didn’t say much to Jackson when they met on the field after the game.By that point, words weren’t really necessary.Randall had predicted during the week that if Bengals receiver A.J. Green didn’t play, the Browns would dominate. Green was out again with a toe injury, and Randall had a hand in making his prediction hold up.He picked off Dalton in the second quarter, ran out of bounds and handed the ball to Jackson , who was fired last month by the Browns. Jackson responded by tapping him on the helmet.“He just said thank you for the ball,” Randall said.Mayfield was at the center of it all, completing 14 of 18 passes as the Browns surged ahead by 21 points. He was coming off his best game
Womens David Njoku Jersey , a three-TD performance during a 28-16 win over Atlanta that sent Cleveland into its bye week.Mayfield finished 19 of 26 for 258 yards as the Browns essentially ran out the clock in the second half, when he threw only four passes. The first half reminded him of his high-scoring games at Oklahoma.“A little bit, yeah,” he said. “Everything seemed to be working. But that’s the way we want it here in Cleveland.”Dalton hurt the thumb on his passing hand while trying to recover a fumble in the third quarter and didn’t return. He was still being evaluated after the game. The Browns turned the fumble recovery into Mayfield’s fourth TD pass for a 35-7 lead. Dalton was 10 of 17 for 100 yards with a touchdown and an interception.From the opening drive, it was all Cleveland. The Browns’ 28 first-half points were their most since 1991, when they scored 31 against the Colts.“It hurts,” Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd said. “It hurts a lot.”BREAKTHROUGH WINCleveland’s last road win was 33-30 in overtime at Baltimore on Oct. 11, 2015. The Browns have won consecutive games for the first time since 2014. They’ve won back-to-back games by double digits for the first time since 2013.MAYFIELD’S EMERGENCEMayfield has thrown for multiple touchdowns in each of his last five starts, the first Browns rookie to accomplish the feat. He’s the first Browns quarterback to throw for at least three TDs in consecutive games since Derek Anderson in 2007. In eight starts, he has thrown 17 TD passes

It was the third straight game the Bengals allowed an opening touchdown.CHUBB KEEPS ROLLINGCleveland running back Nick Chubb had another big day, running 1 yard for a touchdown and catching a 14-yard TD pass over Brandon Wilson. He is the fourth rookie in NFL history to have a rushing and a receiving TD in consecutive games.INJURIESBrowns: Cleveland came out of its bye week as healthy as it’s been all season.Bengals: CB Dre Kirkpatrick also was inactive with shoulder injury. LT Cordy Glenn was out with a back injury, and fill-in Jake Fisher hurt his back late in the first half. CB Tony McRae suffered a concussion in the third quarter and gave two thumbs-up as he was wheeled off the field.UP NEXTThe Browns play at Houston on Sunday.The Bengals host the Broncos on Sunday.AFC North Roundup: September 20, 2018 Through two weeks, the AFC North is starting to stratify. At the top are the Cincinnati Bengals, 2-0 on the season. The Baltimore Ravens, meanwhile, are 1-1. And then there are the Cleveland Browns, at 0-1-1 and looking to get their first win over the New York Jets on Thursday night. Also at 0-1-1 are the Pittsburgh Steelers
Odell Beckham Browns Jersey , who will have to topple the undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night in order to pick up win No. 1. But there’s a lot of football yet to be played and all four teams in the AFC North are trying to do work to get better and keep—or start—winning. Here’s the latest news around the division, non-Browns edition.Pittsburgh Steelers: Drama has been surrounding the Steelers for years now, and this week was no different. Antonio Brown’s tweet required his agent to respond, and his absence from Monday’s meetings led head coach Mike Tomlin to hand down some unspecified discipline. Finally, Brown spoke to the media on Thursday and Behind the Steel Curtain’s Simon Chester has the highlights, including Brown saying point blank, “We’re losing. We suck.”Concerning Steelers drama not involving Brown, the team is both literally and symbolically moving on from absent running back Le’Veon Bell. Chester reports that now Bell is not just off of the team’s depth chart but has also been removed from their official roster and associated game day media. Cincinnati Bengals: With Joe Mixon missing at least two weeks after undergoing a relatively minor knee surgery, that makes Giovani Bernard the Cincinnati Bengals’ new starting running back. Cincy Jungle’s Patrick Judis reports that Bengals coaches have no concerns about Bernard handling the bulk of the carries during Mixon’s absence.Bernard won’t be toting the ball alone, though. Rookie back Mark Walton is also in line for carries. And with another back
Denzel Ward Jersey White , Tra Carson, being waived this week with a hamstring injury, the Bengals also signed veteran Thomas Rawls to add depth. Jason Marcum reports that Rawls was among at least five running backs the team worked out this week.The Bengals will also have to do without starting center Billy Price for some time. Marcum reports that Price has a foot injury that will hold him out at least two weeks, after which he will be reevaluated. For now, he’ll be in a boot, and Trey Hopkins will start at center in the interim.Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley hobbled off the field in last Thursday’s loss to the Bengals, the fear being a significant knee injury. But the Ravens—who in recent seasons have been hit hard by the injury bug—seems to have dodged a bullet. Baltimore Beatdown’s Jacob Loque reports that Mosley returned to practice on Thursday. While that’s no guarantee that he will play on Sunday against the Denver Broncos it is at least a sign that the injury was not as serious as first feared.Logan Levy writes that the Ravens offensive line will be tested yet again on Sunday against Denver and its significant pass-rush. The Broncos defense has sacked quarterbacks seven times already, four of those belonging to linebacker Von Miller. Joe Flacco has been sacked five times through two games, four of those (and numerous other pressures) coming last week against the Bengals.
