  "account": "On November 4, 2026, in a game against the New Orleans Saints, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his starting debut. Sanders had been in Deshaun Watson's place after Watson suffered a concussion following a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although Watson had been cleared of his concussion, Sanders had received all of the starting no. 1 reps in practice, leading coach Todd Monken to name him the starter.\n\nSanders showed a modest performance in this game. In the first quarter, he completed 3 of 5 passes for 18 yards and a 67.1 passer rating. As for the rest of the game, there was no passing performance data available, suggesting Sanders did not throw the ball again after the first quarter.\n\nWhile Sanders did not get many opportunities to throw, he did manage to contribute to the Browns' ground game. He rushed twice for a total of 4 yards in the first quarter. Additionally, Sanders was sacked once, resulting in a loss of seven yards.\n\nSanders' targets in the game came from teammates KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Concepcion accounted for two catches, amassing 11 yards, while Boston had one catch for 7 yards. Despite the modest numbers, Sanders' debut game against the Saints provided a glimpse into his potential for the upcoming season.",
