Todd Monken backs Baker Mayfield ahead of Browns return
The Cleveland coach described the Buccaneers quarterback as a great, highly competitive player before Tampa Bay’s game against his former team.
Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken has praised Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield ahead of the teams’ upcoming game, describing him as a great and highly competitive football player.
Monken said Mayfield’s motivation was not necessarily connected to facing Cleveland, according to comments attributed to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com via X.
Mayfield was selected first overall by Cleveland before later signing a long-term extension with Tampa Bay. The upcoming fixture will therefore bring the quarterback up against the club that began his NFL career.
The Buccaneers enter the game after a 33–27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in their season opener. The source said Mayfield committed multiple turnovers in that defeat, without quantifying them.
The game’s date and venue were not specified in the supplied material, and there is no confirmed basis for framing it as a revenge fixture.
