Why didn’t they go for the FG and wrap it up!?
Oh well. A win is a win. Go Baker.
There's an old football adage to the effect of "if you can't get a yard when you need it, you don't deserve to win." It's the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose, and when you have a team that has lost as much as the Browns over the last several years, you have to teach them to win. Also, kicking the FG wouldn't have wrapped it up, as the Broncos would've had plenty of time to march down the field and score, but if the Browns had converted that 4th, that would have ended the game--with no timeouts left, the Broncos couldn't have stopped the clock.

Sometimes you do your best and you still guess wrong. Like when the coach called the timeout right as Baker got the Broncos with the hard count...

Too bad the Browns' defense can't (or won't) tackle. Sorry defense. Feel sorry for Baker.
Why? Baker just threw for almost 400 yards on the #1 defense in the league. He had them on the ropes about to be knocked out of the playoffs. And he's a rookie. They have an interim head coach. He has not one thing to be ashamed of. Browns had a great year by even more than a "Browns" standard and it because of Baker.

Who said anything derogatory about Baker Mayfield????? NOBODY, that's who!!!!!! The point is, if the Cleveland defense had risen to Mayfield's level of performance, it would have been a different outcome. I'm sorry you missed that entirely!
