Coach Talk

IV League
Just two field goals on four attempts? In a matchup this close, Harrison Butker probably had the GM of IV League sweating bullets.

Sheesh, the blame for this narrow loss can be placed more heavily on the Browns coaches than on the quarterback. The gameplan against the Panthers led to the QB attempting only 22 passes. Baker Mayfield did what he could, connecting with the target on a outstanding 82 percent of them!
