Baker Mayfield walked out of Wednesday's press conference after a heated exchange with Browns beat writer Tony Grossi.
The second-year quarterback was asked about Cleveland's final drive during the first half of the team's 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday and became frustrated when Grossi questioned what he considered a lack of urgency from the Browns' offense at the time.
Mayfield called it "the dumbest question you could ask" and eventually exited his media availability.

Mayfield took to Twitter shortly after to set the record straight.
"Everybody wants to hear the truth until they actually get it," Mayfield wrote. "I am who I am and always have been. Don’t call it emotional when it’s convenient and then passion when it fits. I care about winning, so yeah I’m frustrated. If I was to act like it’s okay to lose, then y’all would say that I’ve gotten complacent. My sense of urgency is at an all time high. And if I offend anybody along the way... that’s too bad"

Mayfield's reaction is a good indication Cleveland could be crumbling under the pressure of what was anticipated to be a breakout season for the Browns after numerous big-name acquisitions last offseason.
The Browns (2-5) will look to clinch a morale-boosting victory when they visit the Broncos (2-6) on Sunday.
