4. Baker Mayfield throws for over 300 yards, but also two bad interceptions

Admittedly, this is not going to be an elite September for Baker Mayfield. Of course, he is progressing marvelously under second-year head coach Kevin Stefanski. However, we are not going to see Mayfield play his best football this season until after the weather changes. While Mayfield will throw for over 300 yards on Sunday, he will also throw two terrible interceptions.

These picks will combine with the rampant special teams gaffes on full display for everyone to see. Browns fans will be pulling all of their hair out after some of the monstrosities they will see on Sunday. However, this team is resilient, it does not give and and the Browns will respond accordingly. This could be one of those games where the Browns learn to become elite from.

So even if Mayfield throws for more yards than he did in either of the first two games of the season, he will also double his season total of interceptions with four heading into Week 4. Though he is not exactly going to win the game for the Browns, Mayfield will play well enough for them not to lose it either. He finds a way to get it done with only his C-plus stuff on the afternoon.

Look for this to be the game where Mayfield turns a corner for what can be a great season for him.
