It wasn't the best Sunday for quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, Kirk Cousins and Carson Wentz.
The quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively, struggled in Week 6. Mayfield and Cousins combined to throw five interceptions in their respective losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons. Wentz didn't reach 100 yards passing until late in the third quarter. Wentz, however, did rally in the fourth quarter, before losing to the Baltimore Ravens.
Mayfield, who is dealing with a rib injury, left the game in the third quarter and was replaced by Case Keenum.
This was the general sentiment:

For Cousins and Mayfield, interceptions were a huge problem.
Kirk Cousins is the first player with 0 Pass TD & 3 interceptions in a half this season.

Entering today, the Falcons had allowed the highest Total QBR (81.8) in the NFL, 15 Pass TD to just 2 Int, and had not held an opponent scoreless in the first half.

Only Jameis Winston (13) & Philip Rivers (12) have more such games since Mayfield entered the league in 2018. pic.twitter.com/AqNpLy9biW
When you drift into Jameis Winston and Philip Rivers territory for picks, it's never a good sign. One of Mayfield's was a pick-six for Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Social media was quick to roast the QBs, but also mount a bit of defense for Wentz.

Imagine thinking Carson Wentz is the root of the Eagles problems.

For fans of the Browns, who entered the game against a division rival at 4-1, Mayfield's performance was especially deflating ... and hilarious for Steelers fans.
Baker Mayfield on fire right now!!
