The Baker Mayfield Era is officially underway in Cleveland.

Four days after Mayfield replaced injured starter Tyrod Taylor and led the Browns to their first win since 2016, coach Hue Jackson announced Monday that the No. 1 overall pick will take over the team's starting job Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.

"There was nothing that I saw that he wasn't ready to handle," Jackson said. "He checked off every box for me.

"This is sooner than when I thought it would happen, because I thought we would play much better earlier on offense and we didn't. There was a stark difference in how we performed when he got in there."

Mayfield earned the job by completing 17 of 23 passes for 201 yards against the New York Jets on Thursday night, turning a 14-point deficit into a 21-17 win — Cleveland's first victory in 635 days. In the process, he provided a spark for a franchise that had slipped from mediocrity to historic futility in recent years.

Jackson said Taylor remained in the league's concussion protocol, but he hoped his former starter would be cleared in time to serve in a backup role Sunday against the Raiders.

"He's right here, not going anywhere," Jackson said. "Tyrod's going to be needed.''
