Baker proves that coaches matter

Sean McVay had Baker Mayfield for 2.5 days and beat the Raiders, meanwhile Nathaniel Hackett has had Russell Wilson for 9 months and couldn’t beat the Raiders once

That picture of Baker having jumped into a teammate's arms and the guy holding him in the air. Remember....they don't even know each other. Its crazy 😄

So glad for you Baker....you got a raw deal here in Cleveland. You'll always have fans here in the dog pound for what you accomplished...1st playoff win in 20+ years

I am not a Rams fan but I was pulling for Baker all the way. What an outstanding performance, unprecedented.

The NFLs best quality is its ability to generate redemption.

The only thing I wish all media would mention about Baker Mayfield is that he has had a different coach and system every single year he has been in the league. He may be the only QB in history to face that.

I left the Game last night after the Raiders last field goal 16-3 8 mins left thinking we got the W. The Rams O had not done squat…but yrs of being a Raiders fan , I had bad feeling and I did not want to see any part of it. Congratulations to Mayfield, dude always has a punchers chance and he KOd our season 😢

I am a Cincinnati Bengals fan since the seventies and I really hope they can Mayfield wins out the season with the Rams I like Baker

Amazing performance by Baker and the Rams team.

Mr Eisen, You are by far the classiest sports announcer in my 50 year history being a football fan. No one compares. This segment was The epidamy of professionalism. Guess I just wanted to let you know you're appreciated. Merry Christmas - Happy New Year, W.Rex

In bakers defense, he had better coaching in those 20 walk through plays then he got since he entered the NFL. 5 years? In Cleveland and then vaca in Carolina.

We’ve seen 3-4 great comebacks this season already, Jets,Bucs, Rams , I’m sure I’m missing others , but Baker’s was the best, cause he had no time outs, and under 2 minutes,and went 98 yds , after only 2 days and no real practice, imagine Baker after some time with these guys 🤔

Baker showed America why he is Heisman Winner and number one pick. McVay and Baker will win multiple chips because it's their path destiny. Even hollywood script couldn't have designed this story. Baker will be Rams Frachjse QB period and this was a majestic performance for the Ages...McVay and Baker will be best combo for years to come.

That game was the stuff that movies were made out of the replacement unbelievable you just go for it Baker from your fans from Cleveland you're healed up now give it your all and kick some butt

Baker's finally with a real coaching staff. I hope the Rams realize that two concussions and spinal chord damage isn't a good look for bringing back an aging QB. I hope Stafford just enjoys his ring and doesn't risk further damage. And what could the Rams do to replace him? It's not like they have any draft choices for awhile. So it will be backups and journeymen. But Baker, with this staff, might just start to play like he's a 1st round draft choice. I hope so. I always liked Baker.

Rich, you are probably the Best and most honest Talking Head and have given Mayfield a honest assessment of his Talent and you have Not Used his misfortune in the NFL as a measuring stick for his future in the NFL! Thanks Rich for Not following along with the Other Talking Heads who said He was a Bust & had him Dead and Buried! This was something I expected when Brady did this last Sunday but for Mayfield to come out of the Grave to out do Brady with this Great Comeback, Really did Shock Me but was so much fun to Watch! Thank You Baker Mayfield and Thank you Rich Eisen because you are the Only One to Watch or Listen too, so please keep up the Great Work!

That was a classic drive......the passes and the catches were exceptional and fun to watch.....

Best part of entire night was the post game interview where baker said to Fitz, “ all of a sudden, all that bitching I did about learning multiple offensive systems in just a few years , just paid off. “. That’s priceless. Everything happens for a reason wether you like how it’s drawn out or not. :)

Watching clips from the Rams locker room post game, and how excited McVay and the team was, it has me thinking Mayfield might be their QB next season. I don't see Stafford coming back.

Screamed at my tv all year, as a panthers fan. Run a dam playaction Mcadoo. Look how many they ran last night to get baker comfortable with the offense. That is why Baker did not succeed in carolina. Mcadoo wouldn't put him in a place to succeed.

OK, coach, can I see the play book now?

I love this story!!!

I'm a Cardinals fan and even I was cheering for Baker!

I'm happy for Mayfield and I think this situation may be the best for him. He'll be the perfect backup for Stafford and in a few years could take the reigns.

Baker Mayfield is the MAN!

Happy for Baker. Punching bag has his day in the sun. The gravitas gained from last night will extend his career as long as he desires. Notice how the last two games ended. Amazing. Identical scores, almost identical scenarios. “Caddy shack 2.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Baker’s last 2 throws. Perfection.

The raiders are now 0-2 against guys off the street this season.

I believe that Patrick Mahomes success is because he got the right coach in Andy Reid. We've seen it before. Joe Montana-Bill Walsh. Well maybe Baker Mayfield has found the "right" coach for his game. Even before that unbelievable game winning drive at the end, all game I just kept thinking about how this offense seemed to match Mayfield's skills. He made a bunch of really good clutch throws all through the game. I also believe that Stafford is really hurt bad because it takes a lot to sideline him. Mayfield is going to flourish in this offense.

So happy for Baker.

This was just wonderful. Shake and fucking bake baby lmaooo

BAKER had to catch a break....been ruff for him lately.....good luck to him

Clevelander, always liked Baker, he is a gamer! Wish him the best!

Baker should be the starting QB for the Rams. That man has heart and drive.

Outstanding Sir, simply Outstanding, pure and simple.

Let's not forget that he played without the Rams best in the league receiver....no small task

In 45 years of NFL football, what happened LAST night has not happened. McVay and Mayfield can probably do some incredible things. The defense DID do a great job last night, keeping it close. I'm still a little stunned. I watched that happen, even Al Michaels said it was impossible what he was seeing. I think only McVay and Mayfield COULD have pulled off something like that.

My only regret about Mayfield's performance Thursday night was that I fell asleep before the 4Q and had to watch highlights instead.

This is why I (a European guy) love football more than *sigh * soccer right now...

Thanks for the take Rich

Baker Mayfield had a few hours to study the playbook between flying across the country, moving into a hotel, and getting to the stadium. That's more time spent studying the playbook than Kyler Murray.

Its not the predictable things in sports that make it great, its the unpredictable ! 😁👍🏈

That is call "SOONERS MAGIC"

Quote of the day......."Baker Freakin' Mayfield'.

Glad I wasn't the only one to get a kick out of that movie graphic: Godfather Part 3, Jaws the Revenge, Caddyshack 2, the 2022 Los Angeles Rams

That game is why we love the NFL👍Great example of the last shall be first. Baker six times down this year - seven times way up in the longest touchdown drive ever in the final 5 min 🏅

There’s a path to win out, I’m excited to see what happens

thank you again Rich Your levity is always a fresh of breath air once or twice a week i get the time. Thanks

All Baker has to do is be consistent..dude was throwing darts,only Qb this season to have my jaw drop like that was Joey B last weekend

man I forgot how good Rich Eisen is, I should never have let him fall off my radar. This was excellent. I think I ho-hummed him when he had to do the rehearsed corp stuff, but when he is off the the cuff this was great.

Been looking forward to watching this all day ❤

The season is pretty much lost for the Rams yet they got quite the moral victory. They need to fish for more of them and look to the horizon for next season.

Lets give some love to the Raiders punter! If they had won that's what people would be talking about.

If you're only up a baker's dozen, Baker Mayfield's gonna serve ya

After all the crap Mayfield has taken, I was happy for the guy. The pulled off the improbable.. Sweet

Good for Baker!! Not only am I a Chiefs fan so I love seeing the Faiders fade.. But I was also really happy to see him gut out that performance and get an improbable win. Good for him. Hes been thrown away by two different teams in the last couple months, doubted by everybody and nearly forgotten about.. Good for him, I say.

All I have to say is " ATTA BOY" BAKER MAYFIELD 😋😛😃

Rich Eisen you and me both when he planted that flag, that was it I loved the guy after that.

"That performance was the triumph of the uncluttered mind."---Blaine Nye

98 yards, best ever!!

Sort of unrelated but I was hoping Mayfield would revitalize the Browns as their franchise seems to be cursed but now that they signed a sexual predator for QB I no longer feel bad for the franchise.

sometimes you just have to let football players play football. we all started out playing sandlot football, and then coaches get in your head. Brady and Baker show that if you just let them go play the game, a good player will come out and play. Find the man that's open and hit him. all coaches should learn from this.

Raiders fans know there is no such thing as improbable victory when you are playing against the Raiders. They lost to the Jeff Saturday (Colts haven't beaten anyone since then). They had numerous 17pt leads this year that they ended up losing. If Raiders were given a 28pt lead to start vs the Chiefs I'd still be worried about losing.

I just hope this shows a few coaches in the NFL to work with players INSTINCTS rather than force a style of play. The guy clearly was just out seeing and reacting without having an overly complex script to follow.

The Rams are such an interesting concept. They went for everything right now and it worked. But then this year has been awful. But they’ve also been banged up all year. Next year will be more telling about the strategy they took. If they get healthy and play well again next year. But even so I think most every fan base would take some bad years if it meant they got that Super Bowl.

Rich I sensed that Baker would play. Not until the end of the game when he scored the first TD did I think he was going to win it but he was good.

!!!"BAKER MAYFIELD RULES"!!!

"They compared the Rams team to Caddy Shack 2😂"

Best response ever

LA is so much better for Baker Mayfield. Better coaching by a mile and a less chaotic organization. We’re happy to have you Baker!

In the meantime, Deshaun Watson remains in Cleveland playing meaningless football games in foul weather for a bad team !!!

That 98 yard drive was alot of fun last night... I bet you Besos smiled and said ... Baker stays in the NFL.

Love you Rich

Thank you for not taking dan patricks cynical, conspiratorial opinion about mayfield having been given the rams playbook days earlier.

Rich, way to bring the drama! it was pretty crazy, but so right, you just can't make this sh*t up. The NFL has amazing moments. Which is why we keep watching, even though it's way too violent.

At 3:30 Rich becomes a legit motivational speaker ❤

I guess when the Raiders went up by double digits we shouldn’t seen their demise

Baker has “it” and I love that man!

I always liked him. Long time Browns fan. Now a Rams fan, too . Wonderful 😊.

Incredible

Baker is back baby!!

Who knows, Stafford may hang it up with his neck injury and Mayfield gets to be QB for boy genius.

Both MNF and TNF from this week ... the team leading grasps defeat from the jaws of victory.

I really enjoy this bit.

He literally stayed in the hotel where he got married. He knew that even if the Rams didn’t pick him up, he’d be able to have a lovely night in LA with this wife.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Go Baker, go!!!!!

He reminds me of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

There's now no doubt in my mind that a yellow jacket is now being tailored for Baker's HOF address speech. After five years in the NFL, finally beating able to to defeat a 4 and 9 team proves that he is now the greatest comeback story of all -time...with all due respects to Jim Plunket...

Baker never looked right in a Browns jersey, he instantly look right in a Rams jersey, it was fate. He's the franchise qb now

It's interesting to contemplate that the Broncos could have gotten Baker for a lot cheaper than Russell. Would they have been worse off? I don't know!

Didn't even know there was a Caddyshack 2

Hay rams country Let's bake !

Timeless**

Baker mayfield is the new Ryan Fitzpatrick

BOOMER!!! 💥

Games like that almost give ammunition to the ppl who think the NFL is a soap opera and fixes games. (I don't think so) but another storybook result this year. Let's see how he plays in the following weeks

Rich pretty much called this.

That was YOUR Faiders, Rich. Eat that L.

Great video

In other news. Nick Bosa looks forward to welcoming Baker to the division
