Mayfield finished the game 21-37-247 yards with 2 td’s and 2interceptions. He also took a big hit late in the game to the ribs and will have x-rays, but said he’ll be ready to go for the big game in Pittsburgh next week against the first place and undefeated (4-0) Steelers.

Kareem Hunt led the ground attack with 72 yards on 20 carries.

Jarvis Landry was the team’s leading receiver with 4 receptions for 88 yards, while OBJ grabbed 5 passes for 58 yards.

Myles Garrett was a disruptive force all game long, so much so that Colts QB Phillip Rivers should have nightmares about him. Garrett forced Rivers into an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone in the 4th quarter for a safety, had 4 total tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss and 4 quarterback pressures.

Next Sunday’s game in the “Steel City” is currently set for a 1pm kick off here on 1480 WHBC.
