Kurt Warner breaks down Baker Mayfield’s sharp outing vs. Broncos
Baker Mayfield had his best game of this season when the Rams swept the Broncos 51-14. He completed 24 out of 28 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. His 85.7% completion percentage was second highest in his career.
Kurt Warner, former Rams quarterback, was impressed with Mayfield’s Christmas performance. It also showed that Mayfield could pick apart a Broncos defence. Mayfield was the subject of Warner’s “Study Ball” film breakdown this week and he went play by play analyzing what Mayfield did well and where he can improve.
Although Mayfield has had his share of struggles and poor performances in the NFL, Warner feels he’s a quarterback who simply needs to find the right team and fit in order to get back to playing at a high level.
“They got a huge win on Sunday scoring 51 points and having an unbelievable day in terms of completion percentage and QBR,” Warner wrote in his breakdown. “How does that happen? It happens because he’s found himself in a place that plays to his strengths. Even though he has only been there a short period of time, what they do makes it easier for a quarterback like Baker Mayfield.”
