The Browns (11-5) are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and Mayfield, the 2018 NFL Draft's first overall pick, is a major reason why.
The 2017 Heisman Trophy winner finished the regular season with 3,367 passing yards and 25 touchdowns.
The Browns will face the Steelers in the AFC wild-card round.
