Baker Mayfield’s issues with the Browns were a hot topic during the offseason. He was part of a trade that sent him to the Panthers. That relationship, however, did not go well after they excluded him. Mayfield joined the Rams and emerged as the wonder kid after crumbling the Raiders. Moreover, the 98-yard scoring drive is what the fans cannot believe they saw.
As per Field Yates, the 98-yard touchdown drive by Rams‘ Baker Mayfield last night was the longest game-winning touchdown drive launched with less than two minutes remaining by any team in the previous 45 seasons. It was led by a quarterback who arrived two days before the game.

Baker Mayfield mentioned, “To be honest with you, I was completely shocked that they lined up in press coverage with 15 seconds. I really thought they were gonna try to pop out and play zone but they just stayed with it. Saw the weakside safety stay down and Van’s a great go-ball runner, go up and get it and he won off the line and did a good job.”
