Is Baker Mayfield's height to blame for his passes getting batted down?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield is considered short by league standards for his position. Mayfield is listed at 6'1, but at the 2018 NFL combine was officially 6 feet and 5/8ths inches.

But he wasn't short on jokes Wednesday when asked what he could do to avoid having four passes batted down at the line of scrimmage as he did in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

"Well, an inverted table a little bit, stretch out, get taller ... thanks mom and dad,'' Mayfield deadpanned.

Seriously, this is a problem.
