Browns ruin Baker Mayfield's revenge game, defeat Panthers with late field goal

The Cleveland Browns wanted nothing to do with a Baker Mayfield revenge game, defeating the Carolina Panthers on the road Sunday to start their season right.

Baker Mayfield was looking for some revenge against the Cleveland Browns in his first game with the Carolina Panthers. The Browns had other plans.

Cleveland came away with a 26-24 win on the road in Carolina as Mayfield’s ex-teammates, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, wreaked havoc on the Panthers’ defense. 

Chubb finished with a game-high 141 yards on 22 carries, while Hunt had two touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, Mayfield’s current replacement, went 18-for-34 for 147 yards and a touchdown throw to Hunt. He also had four carries for 10 yards.
