CBS Sports names one Browns QB a 'winner' after second preseason game
After his performance against the Bills, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders earns praise from CBS Sports.
The Cleveland Browns engaged in a preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, setting the stage for the impending quarterback competition. Following the game, Deshaun Watson's post-game remarks injected an unexpected twist into the situation. Despite the fluctuating performances, Shedeur Sanders seems to be inching closer to reclaiming his starting position following a solid showing with the majority of Cleveland's second and third-team players.
CBS Sports took note of Sanders' efforts, recognizing him as a winner among the winners and losers of the second round of preseason games. The network reported, "Sanders came out firing after having to wait out a weather delay of nearly an hour, connecting on all four of his passes on the opening drive... Sanders had a few of Cleveland's starters -- namely rookies Spencer Fano and Denzel Boston -- out there with him, but he was mostly working with backups."
Sanders delivered a strong performance, finishing with 9-of-11 passing, 74 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and one sack.
With the team poised to name a starting quarterback soon, Sanders emerges as the logical choice, pending head coach Todd Monken's final decision.
