Fans react to Baker Mayfield’s performance on Monday night

After Baker Mayfield led the Los Angeles Rams to a miraculous victory on Thursday Night Football just over a week ago, several NFL news outlets praised Mayfield.

However, after his dismal performance against the Green Bay Packers last night, things have changed, and in a big way.

Although he had a near-perfect fourth quarter in his heroic victory on Thursday Night Football, he looked like the same old Mayfield in last night’s game.

Although he was hit while throwing the previous clip, Mayfield made a terrible call on this pass, resulting in an interception that put the Packers in tremendous position.

Throughout the 2022 NFL season, the Packers’ defensive line hasn’t necessarily instilled fear in opposing quarterbacks.

All of that changed last night.

The Packers defense recorded nine quarterback hits, six tackles for loss, five sacks and one interception against Mayfield and the Rams last night.

Rams fans and NFL fans on the internet continued to ridicule Mayfield for his poor performance last night.

Mayfield was just 11/21 last night, throwing for just 111 yards, one TD pass and one interception.

More than just this season

Mayfield is playing on a contract.

With his NFL status largely unknown, it’s critical Mayfield plays well in the Rams’ remaining games if he is to have any shot at being a starting quarterback in the 2023 season and beyond.

With tough defensive tests coming up for Mayfield, we’ll soon see what the future holds for him in the league.
