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.
