(AP Photo/Seth Wenig)EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. ā Baker Mayfield led two 95-yard touchdown drives and the Cleveland Browns moved closer to ending their 17-year playoff drought with a 20-6 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Mayfield was sharp all night, helping the Browns (10-4) bounce back from a 47-42 loss to Baltimore last Monday night.
The win got the Browns closer to clinching their first playoff spot since 2002, the NFLās longest drought.
New York's opening drive stalled at the 8 after McCoy's throw to Evan Engram fell incomplete in the end zone.
It could've worked, too: Kicker Graham Gano was wide open in the end zone.
