Cowboys fans should be livid at Baker Mayfield’s interception-fest vs. Packers

Had Baker Mayfield not been giving the ball away to the Packers at will on Christmas Day, the Cowboys could’ve taken over the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The fact that the Cleveland Browns had a chance to beat the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day is a testament to their roster. In fact, they had the ball with under two minutes to play down just two points and knocking on the door of field-goal range. Dallas Cowboys fans had to be licking their chops at that moment.

Dallas currently sits as the No. 2 seed in the NFC standings behind only the Packers. If America’s Team can win out and Green Bay drops a game, that would put Mike McCarthy’s club in position to take the top seed in the conference and earn a first-round bye in the playoffs as they would win a multi-team tiebreaker thanks to their NFC record.

Unfortunately, Baker Mayfield was just a bit too much in the giving mood.

Cowboys fans should be furious at Baker Mayfield for gifting Packers a win

With the game on the line, Mayfield threw his fourth interception of the game that all but sealed Cleveland’s fate and, naturally, the Packers victory.

Cowboys fans have every right to be as angry at the Browns quarterback as they’ve been at any player, official, or coach in recent memory. Mayfield almost single-handedly cost his team a chance at a game they were still in despite his four turnovers. And, in turn, he also cost Dallas the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into their Sunday matchup.

Suffice it to say, Mayfield won’t be getting any Christmas cards from the DFW area this holiday season after that performance.
