Shedeur Sanders at best when 'pressure's on' late in Browns OT loss
The Browns didn't win in their Week 9 game at the Saints. However, Shedeur Sanders gave them an opportunity in the 4th quarter and overtime to win.
Shedeur Sanders displayed remarkable resilience in the fourth quarter and overtime of the Browns' 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints. Sanders, who started due to Deshaun Watson's concussion, threw for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and five sacks, earning a passer rating of 114.6. His performance transformed the Browns offense, leading to a 13-9 lead and a final touchdown to secure a one-point victory.
Monken praised Sanders' ability to make crucial plays, extending drives and converting third downs. Despite the loss, Monken emphasized the team's determination to win, stating "we re going to go for the win right here and it s going to be win or lose." The Browns, with a 5-4 record, will return home for a crucial game against the Houston Texans, who are 3-5 but pose a significant challenge with young quarterback C.J. Stroud.
