Acclaimed quarterback Baker Mayfield will surely want to forget the last-moment loss at NFL 2022-23 Week 1 as soon as possible. Although, his ex-teammate Myles Garrett does not seem to stop talking about it. Baker Mayfield allegedly pledged to beat the Cleveland Browns on game day, but things turned out to be quite the opposite.
Cleveland Browns defeated Carolina Panthers 26-24 in a tense match-up at the Bank of America Stadium. The Browns took an early lead in the first two quarters. When it looked all poised to be a one-sided match, the Panthers charged back. With continuous efforts, they led the Browns by 24-23 with 13 seconds to go. However, rookie Cade York scored a brilliant 58-yard Field Goal to rally the Browns through.

Although according to some reports, it was primarily intended towards the split between Baker and the Browns who signed in Deshaun Watson. Mayfield might have gotten enraged as a result, and his ‘remarks’ could be judged in a less severe light.
