Well after Sunday's win, Mayfield was asked if Ryan's comments fueled him at all. And the quarterback didn't mince words.

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield dissed Rex Ryan once again Sunday after Cleveland's 40-25 win over the Ravens.

Last week, Ryan, a former Jets coach, called Mayfield "overrated as hell" on ESPN's Get Up. When reporters brought up Ryan's comments with Mayfield, the Browns quarterback dismissed them, saying, "It's whatever."

"In the wise words of Freddie Kitchens, 'if you don't wear orange and brown you don't matter,'" Mayfield said. "And Rex Ryan doesn't have any colors right now for a reason."

"Absolutely not. Rex Ryan does not get any credit for this week’s win."
