"No one better say anything bad about [Baker Mayfield] after this game. I don’t think I have seen toughness like this in a while. Maybe the rest of our team should take the hint and get tougher," the post read.
Mayfield finished the game 15-for-29 with 176 passing yards, a touchdown pass and two interceptions. But he was apparently unhappy when he walked off the field at FirstEnergy Stadium.
