CLEVELAND, Ohio — Baker Mayfield, one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL, has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his outstanding performance in Sunday’s 26-18 victory over the Bengals.

Mayfield threw three touchdown passes and no interceptions, earning a stellar 121.9 rating. The 100-plus rating, his fourth in seven games under Gregg Williams and Freddie Kitchens, bumped him up to No. 18 in the NFL with a 95.1 rating. He also completed 27-of-37 attempts (73%) for 284 yards, and was sack- and interception-free for the third time under Kitchens.

Mayfield was also named NFL Rookie of the Month for November.

With three more TD passes, Mayfield will break the NFL rookie record of 26 held by Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson.

Following a victory over Panthers Dec. 9, Mayfield urged fans to come out in full force for the home finale, and they happily obliged, snatching up all the tickets and filling almost all the seats. Mayfield treated them to a thrilling victory over the Bengals that closed out the home record at 5-2-1 and capped the greatest turnaround in Browns history, from 0-16, to 7-7-1.

“It is definitely a lot of fun,’’ Mayfield said of his relationship with the fans. “It’s not always pretty, but you go through the good times and the bad times together. There’s been a lot more good than bad as of recent. I expect that relationship to continue to grow. I relate to Cleveland. The work ethic, the stuff that you have to earn it around here, that’s what the Browns are all about. It’s going to be a good relationship for a long time.”

Mayfield’s 73% completion rate against the Bengals led all AFC players and his three TDs tied the AFC lead for the week. Mayfield completed 15 consecutive passes at one point, tying for third longest stretch in team history. He helped the Browns earn their first AFC North sweep since 2007 and their first of the Bengals since 2002.

His 24 passing TDs are third-most all-time in the NFL by a rookie.

This marks the first Offensive Player of the Week award since Josh McCown won in Week 5 in 2015.
