Rumored QB Plans, Shedeur Sanders Breaks Silence on Browns

The Cleveland Browns found a way to steal a win from the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, despite the team’s offense being shut out until late into the fourth quarter.

A series of in-game events that included a long drive for a field goal with less than four minutes left to play, an interception deep in Packers’ territory and subsequent touchdown, a blocked Green Bay field goal attempt, and a 55-yard game-winning field goal earned Cleveland its first victory of the season in shocking fashion. And while the win takes some pressure off of a Browns’ team that blew a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 due to dropped passes and special teams miscues, starting quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense continue to struggle.

The Browns are scoring just over 14 points per game, while Flacco has totaled 631 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions through three weeks. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game Sunday that he intends to stick with Flacco as the starter even despite those struggles. Meanwhile, rookie Shedeur Sanders remains buried on the depth chart as the third-string QB, also known as the emergency quarterback, and he’s technically been inactive for each of his first three NFL games.

The fifth-round rookie, who many thought might be a top-10 pick in April’s draft, spoke with Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, and he addressed how he feels about potentially getting a chance to play amid the rumors the Browns could potentially make a change under center.

“I’m ready for my opportunity whenever that happens,” Sanders told Cabot. “But in this time that I’m not out there physically playing, I would say I’m growing everywhere.”

Sanders also noted that he gets six so-called games weekly as the QB of the Browns’ scout team and is soaking up all the knowledge and experience he can out of that work.

“This is something my dad [Deion Sanders] used to say: ‘If you’re up there doing something every day, you better be getting better at it,” Sanders added. “Everything we do in this building, it’s a learning thing. It’s learning every day. I’m in a great position to be sitting back, understanding the game plan, understanding everything that the NFL is.”
