Browns QB Baker Mayfield's frustration boils over in news conference blowup

BEREA, Ky. _ Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield abruptly ended his weekly news conference Wednesday and stormed away from the podium because he didn't like a reporter's line of questioning about a failed two-minute drill at the end of the first half of Sunday's 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots.

A few minutes after reporters left the locker room, Mayfield described his mood on Twitter.

"Everybody wants to hear the truth until they actually get it ... . I am who I am and always have been," Mayfield wrote. "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 isn't the only member of the 2-5 Browns who's frustrated. The team has underachieved thus far and hopes to get on track Sunday when it visits the Denver Broncos (2-6).
