Mayfield effective on play action

In his Ravens-Browns preview, Jared Dubin looks at Baker Mayfield’s effectiveness on play action:

“Baker Mayfield has lit it up in two consecutive games, completing 44 of 62 passes for 592 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions. On the season, he's a far better passer after first faking a run than he is on a straight dropback, seeing his passer rating spike from 85.4 to 121.9 with the aid of a play-action fake. It's not uncommon for quarterbacks to be better on play-action than without it, but Mayfield's split is wider than most. The same is true of passes against the Ravens. Baltimore has allowed an 80.7 rating on straight dropbacks, per PFF and TruMedia, compared with 110.7 after play fakes.”
