  "account": "Cleveland Browns quarterback candidate Shedeur Sanders is poised to lead his team against the New Orleans Saints this weekend, pending the recovery of injured starter Deshaun Watson. The former Colorado quarterback, who has limited playing time this season, is next in line to don the Browns' starter's pads after Watson enters the concussion protocol. Sanders, who has seen limited action this year, could provide a glimpse of his potential as the competition between him and Watson intensifies. Deshaun Watson, who has struggled to find consistency in his passing game recently, has not thrown a touchdown pass in three consecutive games. Sanders, however, showcased his skills during his time at Colorado, completing 74% of his passes and throwing for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in his final season. The Browns and Saints are set to face off on Sunday, November 8, with kickoff at 11 a.m. MT, 1 p.m. ET.",
