Shedeur Sanders Set for His Second NFL Start: Can He Lead The Browns To Another Victory?

Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is set to make his second consecutive start for the Cleveland Browns this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, as announced by coach Kevin Stefanski. Despite fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel clearing concussion protocol, Sanders retains his starting position. Gabriel, who had previously started six games before suffering a head injury against the Baltimore Ravens on November 16, is slated to act as Sanders' backup."The primary role of a quarterback is to achieve victories," Stefanski remarked regarding his decision. "We're thrilled to see him secure that first win and subsequently aim for continued improvement."In his inaugural NFL start, Sanders guided the Browns (3-8) to a 24-10 triumph over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, including a notable 66-yard touchdown to rookie running back Dylan Sampson. While Sanders recorded one interception, his performance showcased a more dynamic offensive style compared to Gabriel's earlier games. The upcoming matchup against the 49ers (7-4) at Huntington Bank Field is particularly significant, as it marks Sanders’ first career start at home.
