Shedeur Sanders Reflects on Preseason Performance After Loss to Bears

In a preseason game on Saturday, the Cleveland Browns faced a disappointing 34-10 defeat against the Chicago Bears, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders evaluating his performance. Alongside fellow Year 2 quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Sanders struggled, both throwing interceptions while Deshaun Watson started the game.

Watson completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards, while Sanders acknowledged that his interception stemmed from a slip during execution, despite making the right read for the play. He emphasized the importance of decision-making in his evaluation process, recognizing that turnovers could hinder his longevity in the league.

Looking ahead, Sanders is set to start against the Buffalo Bills, following Watson's initial start against the Bears. Head coach Todd Monken noted the need for operational improvements but recognized positive moments in their passing game. Sanders, who had a mixed performance last season, aims to build on his experience as he competes for the starting quarterback position.
