VIDEO: Browns QB Baker Mayfield Says He Got Rid of Handlebar Mustache Because He 'Didn't Deserve it'
By Karl Rasmussen
Baker Mayfield has had a majorly disappointing sophomore season. The Browns faltered to a 2-6 record this past weekend despite the lofty expectations fans had entering the season. If that wasn't enough for you, it seems the Browns QB is a bit superstitious after he revealed the reason for ditching his handlebar mustache. The 24-year-old said he shaved on Sunday because of the start of "Movember" in addition to the fact he "didn't deserve" to rock the mustache after failing to win with it.

Well, perhaps Mayfield should have been more concerned with the rest of his look on Sunday, considering he was clowned on social media by just about everyone in the football world after showing up to his presser looking like a disheveled gambler who was down on his luck.
And based on the Browns' season, Mayfield may be trying out a lot more facial hair styles before he finds one that sticks, because even with the addition of Kareem Hunt in the backfield, it seems unlikely this team breaks out and makes a run.

Nonetheless, despite having his share of hiccups with the media this season, the handlebar-less Mayfield was able to keep his cool in this interview. Let's hope that signals a change coming to The Land.
