Mayfield, who was replaced by veteran Teddy Bridgewater to start the second half, had completed 9 of 19 passes for 41 yards with a TD and two interceptions, one of which was returned 50 yards for a touchdown by the Rams’ Cobie Durant in the first quarter.
The 41 passing yards were third fewest for Mayfield in a first half of a start in his career.
