STACKED’s take
Mayfield's passing success rate fell 9.3% as running game collapsed and aDOT doubled.
Mayfield's passing efficiency has deteriorated sharply from Week 1 to Week 2. Against Cincinnati, his early-down play-action aDOT was 6.0 with a 47.8% passing success rate and 18.5% pressure rate; against Cleveland, those metrics shifted to 11.3 aDOT, 38.5% success rate, and 34.6% pressure rate. The source attributes this to an overcompensating aerial attack following a less efficient running game (Bucky Irving's rushing success rate fell from 62.5% to 37.5%, with forced missed tackle rate dropping from 62.5% to 12.5%). Mayfield had four pass-catchers averaging eight or more yards after the catch per reception in Week 1, but the source suggests finding rhythm with interior receivers on shorter routes will keep the offense on schedule.
