  "account": "Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken will take another day to decide whether to start Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson for their September 13 preseason game against Jacksonville. Both quarterbacks have had their moments of success and struggles during the preseason. Monken indicated that Watson’s comments after the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday are not likely to influence his decision. Monken expressed confidence in Sanders' performance, particularly his improvement in handling the pocket and moving up in the offense. However, he also noted that the team's struggles in the second half of games remain a concern.",
