  "account": "The Cleveland Browns find themselves in a crisis at their quarterback position after Shedeur Sanders took the field during the weekend's game. Deshaun Watson will return to action on Sunday when the team faces the Houston Texans. The controversy surrounding Todd Monken, the 60-year-old head coach, stems from his ambiguous stance on Sanders' continued role as the starter. Monken's lack of clarity on the quarterback situation has led to criticism, including from NFL reporter Dan Dakich, who expressed his frustration on \"Don’t @ Me\" show. Dakich accused Monken of throwing Sanders under the bus by discussing private talks about play-calling, suggesting that such behavior indicates Monken's lack of competence to be a head coach in the NFL. While Sanders managed to perform well in the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints, Monken's comments have further cast doubt on the quarterback's character. With Watson set to return as the starter this weekend, the future of Sanders' NFL career is uncertain, and many speculate that the young player might benefit from joining a different team.",
  "summary": "The Cleveland Browns cannot escape the debacle going on at their quarterback position currently following Shedeur Sanders’ start over the weekend. Deshaun Watson will return to the lineup this Sunday when the Browns face the Houston Texans.",
