VIDEO: Baker Mayfield Fools Steelers With Brilliant Pump Fake Before Delivering Spot-on Deep Ball
By Scott Rogust
Entering Thursday night, Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was in an obvious sophomore slump. But against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mayfield showed Browns fans a glimpse of his rookie season brilliance. When the Browns were driving in the second quarter, Mayfield pump-faked a blitzing Jayrone Elliott and fooled the Steelers defender out of his shoes, giving him enough open space to throw a beautiful deep pass to receiver KhaDarel Hodge for a huge gain.
Where was this all season, Baker? Our guess is he saved his magic against a hated rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
