Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield went off Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

Mayfield, who I have had a documented beef with, tossed three touchdowns in the 28-16 win. As somebody who has been very critical of the young gunslinger, even I have to admit he looked damn good.

Watch the highlights below.

Look, Mayfield has all the potential in the world to be a very successful quarterback. You don’t throw a trio of TD passes if you can’t play. It’s just that simple.

Would I like to see him chill out with the attitude a bit? Absolutely. It’s one thing to play with an edge, and it’s another to come off as insanely cocky. (RELATED: Baker Mayfield Proves He Still Hasn’t Grown Up After Making These Comments [VIDEO])

Army green on me like I’m Chris Kyle. Woke up feelin’ REAL DANGEROUS. Great TEAM win. Now to build on it.

I really do want Mayfield to be successful. The Browns fans deserve to have a team that can actually win. He just needs to mellow out and not be such an incredibly unbearable person at times.

Finally, A+ reaction from Matt Ryan as he realized the Falcons were about to lose to the Browns.
