The Buccaneers will take on the Browns on Sunday, marking the second time Mayfield will start against the team that selected him with the first-overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Mayfield faced the Browns in Week 1 of the 2022 season as a member of the Panthers, with Carolina losing 26-24. Mayfield had a 29-30 record as a starter for the Browns and led Cleveland to its first playoff victory in 2020, a 48-37 win over Pittsburgh in the AFC wild-card round. The Browns opted to move on from Mayfield during the 2022 offseason in order to conduct a sign-and-trade with the Texans for Deshaun Watson, with the former briefly spending time with both the Panthers and Rams before finding a home with the Buccaneers in 2023. After months of extension talks during the 2026 offseason and training camp, Mayfield signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension with Tampa Bay prior to the team's Week 1 loss to Cincinnati.
Mayfield completed 23 of 28 passes for 216 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding five rushes for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 33-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also lost three fumbles.
