Thursday Night Overview: The Baker Era Has Begun

Sorry guys, been under the weather all week which is why there was no matchups and predictions post, but I did want to talk about last night's game for a bit. Typically a Jets-Browns regular season game seems like pure torture..and for about a quarter and a half..it was. Tyrod Taylor was AWFUL and the game was just a bore..until finally a concussion took Taylor out of the game and Baker Mayfield came in. He quickly energized the team and played way better than Tyrod was eventually leading his team to their first win in over a season. Now of course if Hue Jackson is smart (sometimes debatable) this means that Baker takes over as the starting QB which upgrades all Cleveland Skill Players. I'm excited about that myself since I'm holding Antonio Callaway. Baker immediately paid dividends as Jarvis Landry had a great game with 8  catches for over 100 yards (and a nifty 2 pt conversion pass on a trick play). Landry seemed QB proof, but an upgrade at QB can only help Eugene's loaded team. Facing a must win situation, Kenny was beyond frustrated initially as Albert spot started ISAIAH CROWELL of all people and he ridiculously scored not 1 but 2 TD's. Luckily, Carlos Hyde had a monster game with 2 TD's of his own and along with a Decent Enunwa game, Kenny's back in the driver's seat in his matchup. The only other play of the night was Alex playing Bilal Powell. Powell didn't do much unfortunately and Alex's injury riddled team is going to have a hard team competing with Mark this week.
