http://www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com/cheap-derrick-kindred-jersey , Baker Mayfield has given Cleveland a glimpse.Mayfield threw for 138 yards in a dominant first half for the Browns, who wrapped up the preseason with a 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. Mayfield completed a 41-yard pass to Devon Cajuste on the first play from scrimmage, and the top overall pick in this year's draft looked sharp throughout his two quarters directing the offense."I just think he improved every week," coach Hue Jackson said. "I thought tonight, making plays down the field with the ball, the accuracy of the ball. Throwing the ball away in some key situations in the scoring zone I thought was huge. I think he's growing every day."With Tyrod Taylor atop the depth chart at quarterback, the Browns are likely to bring Mayfield along slowly. This was a nice note for the rookie to finish on before the start of the regular season."Came out fast, we set the tone. Played well early," said Mayfield, who made his first start of the preseason. "We wanted to stress that, and we made sure of that."Nick Chubb and Matthew Dayes ran for touchdowns for Cleveland in what was generally a battle of backups.The Lions closed out an uninspiring preseason under new coach Matt Patricia. They were booed off the field at halftime by the sparse crowd at Ford Field with the score 25-0."We obviously didn't play very well," Patricia said. "We have to do a better job of coaching and playing, but the positive is that we had some things come up now instead of in the regular season. That gives us a chance to work on them between now and the first game."Jake Rudock did little to distinguish himself in the competition to back up quarterback Matthew Stafford. When Rudock was taken out late in the second quarter, the Lions had been outgained 261-40 and had only two first downs — and both of those came on Cleveland penalties.Matt Cassel took over at quarterback and led Detroit down the field in the 2-minute drill. Then Youth Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey , defensive lineman Nate Orchard made a leaping interception near the line of scrimmage and ran it back 64 yards for a touchdown with 28 seconds left in the half.Cleveland went for 2, and the Lions were called for roughing the passer. Detroit was then called for having 12 men in formation. Dontrell Hilliard eventually ran the ball in to make it 25-0.Dayes had 77 yards on eight carries, although he ended up with an ankle issue. His touchdown came from 42 yards out in the second quarter.The Lions had 2 yards rushing in the first half.Rudock returned to the game in the second half, but it was more of the same for Detroit until the Lions finally scored a couple touchdowns in the fourth quarter."At this point, there's nothing I can do. I can say that I'm not going to worry about it, but it is human nature," Rudock said. "There are 90 guys in here, and there are only going to be 53 here. Obviously, I want to be one of them, but I've done what I can. Now it is out of my hands."The Lions were outscored 68-16 in the first half this preseason.HIGHLIGHTOrchard's touchdown could be a big play for the 25-year-old lineman. A second-round draft pick in 2015, he started 11 games that season but has only two starts since."He made a play. He made a real big-time football play right before half," Jackson said. "Everything's going to be evaluated for our players. The most important thing is we put the right 53 guys on this team."NO RUSHThe Lions finished the preseason with just two sacks in four games. Christian Ringo had one Thursday just before the 2-minute warning in the second half.MOVING ONThe Browns released linebacker Mychal Kendricks on Wednesday night, hours after he was charged by federal prosecutors in Philadelphia with insider trading."It's a disappointment, any time you lose a good player. He's a good player Youth Duke Johnson Jr Jersey ," Jackson said. "He's not on our team anymore, so I don't want to talk about him. We're going to do everything we can to improve the position as we move forward."INJURIESBrowns: Linebacker James Burgess left in the first half with a concussion. Linebacker Justin Currie injured his knee.Lions: Safety Rolan Milligan (chest) was injured on the first play from scrimmage. Running back Zach Zenner (back) and tackle Corey Robinson (foot) were also hurt during the game. Safety Marcus Cromartie went down near midfield in the fourth quarter and walked off gingerly with a hip injury.ANTHEM UPDATENobody appeared to be kneeling for the national anthem.UP NEXTBrowns: Host Pittsburgh on Sept. 9.Lions: Host the New York Jets on Sept. 10.Follow Noah Trister at Twitter/noahtrister In the pass-happy NFL, there seems to be no limit to the amount of throws it takes to pull out a victory.For Joe Flacco, however, the ceiling appears to be 48.Flacco threw 56 passes last Sunday in the Baltimore Ravens' 12-9 overtime loss to Cleveland. Flacco put the ball in the air 55 times last month during a defeat at Cincinnati, although many of those passes came after the Ravens fell into a 28-7 hole.Over the course of his 11-year career, Flacco is 3-15 when flinging at least 49 passes. The last time he won a game in that fashion was in 2013.The Ravens (3-2) obviously didn't take those numbers into account in Cleveland, when they threw 57 times compared to 25 runs in a tight game. Baltimore punted eight times, failed to score a touchdown had its run of 12 straight TDs in the end zone snapped by an interception near the goal line in the second quarter."Hey listen, you come up with a game plan throughout the course of the week and you just go out there and do it," Flacco said Wednesday. "The optimum pass and run attempts are really whatever the (heck) gets you the win."Flacco never threw 50 passes in a game over the first three years of his career. The Ravens reached the playoffs in each of those seasons behind a stout defense and an efficient running game.These days, however, passing seems to be the way to go."Around the league, especially this year for whatever reason White Jarvis Landry Jersey , when you look at the stats a lot of quarterbacks tend to have a ton of passes," Flacco said. "In this day and age, 40 pass attempts is just normal. Those days when you're throwing the ball 25 to 30 times, they're lovely because you've usually completed a good amount of them and you're winning the football game."Flacco would like nothing more than to give his arm a rest this Sunday against Tennessee (3-2). That would be just fine with running back Alex Collins, who thus far has exceeded 12 carries in a game only once.Collins broke off a 19-yard run against the Browns, but for the most part the Baltimore offense relied on the pass."That was more of a game-plan kind of deal," Collins said. "They came out run-heavy and we were trying to get the play-action going."This week, Flacco will go up against former Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who should have a pretty good idea of Flacco's strengths and weaknesses."I'm sure we think that we know probably more than we actually know, and they probably think they know more than they actually know," Flacco said. "Everybody tends to think they have a leg up, but who knows?"Baltimore scored at least 20 points in 12 straight games before coming up with a clunker against the Browns. Prior to that, the Ravens received positive reviews for the fashion in which they spiced up a mundane offense with innovative plays, most notably those involving elusive rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson.When Jackson enters Youth Jabrill Peppers Jersey , Flacco often heads to the outside as a wide receiver. To this point, Flacco has been little more than a prop."I'm out there just standing, really trying to stay out of the way of everything," he said. "My wife told me I need to look more interested out there, but I'm just trying to stay out of it, man. I'm not comfortable out there. I don't need to get too creative."Asked if he expected to catch a pass one day, Flacco replied, "If it needs to be done, it needs to be done. But I sure hope I don't have to do that."
