Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield has been having quite the season, and after last Sunday’s performance can not only call himself a winner, but also the NFL’s Rookie of the Month.
The National Football League announced Thursday that Mayfield had been named NFL Rookie of the Month for November.
In November, Mayfield led the Browns to a 2-1 record, the club’s highest monthly percentage since Oct. 2014.
In addition to wins, Mayfield has recorded some impressive stats in November. He completed 74 percent of his passes for 771 yards with nine touchdowns, just one interception and was only sacked twice. He ended the month with a 129.5 passer rating.
