The Facts: HC Hue Jackson will wait until Monday to announce his starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns' next game against the Oakland Raiders. But it would be surprising if it were not Mayfield.
Diehards Line:
Tyrod Taylor, who has had three concussions in the past 13 months, is expected to pass through the concussion protocol Monday after being injured Thursday night against the Jets. Mayfield, who replaced Taylor, was sharp and accurate in guiding the Browns to their first win since Dec. 24, 2016. Jackson has given the players the weekend off and he does not want to announce his starter without first talking to the players, which will happen Monday. The Browns' next two games are at winless Oakland and at home against Baltimore (1-1). The team that couldn't win a game in 2017 now can dare to think about winning back to back -- something it has not done in 59 games, since the 2014 season. Stay tuned.
