From the episode

I just don't understand what Baker Mayfield was doing last week. Just not utilizing. I didn't see him throw. I watched the first half. I didn't think Emeka or Godwin caught a ball. Like, he was just not throwing to his receivers...I got a text from a person I respect greatly as far as better. And he said last week, he's like, I think Baker Mayfield got paid and quit.
