Many were eagerly awaiting it. They wanted to see Shedeur Sanders’ performance as a starter for the Cleveland Browns, and this wish was granted this past Sunday, November 23rd, when he entered as the starter against the Las Vegas Raiders. And everything had a happy ending for the son of the legend, Deion Sanders, who is now going again as the starter.
It was not the best performance a rookie could have had in his debut as a starter, but for Shedeur, it has already paid dividends. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has said that Sanders will be his starter for Week 13.
And it is that one game is not enough to evaluate a quarterback, especially if he is young; however, he gave the team a spark that was not seen with Joe Flacco at the beginning of the season, nor later with Dillon Gabriel, who errs on the side of caution and conservatism.
The next duel for the Browns and Shedeur Sanders
The duel that Shedeur Sanders will face as his second start will be against the San Francisco 49ers, who will give him many more complications than the Raiders, who could do little or nothing against him and his teammates; they are a walking dead team this season.
With a recovered Brock Purdy for the rest of the season and a powerful defense featuring Nick Bosa playing big, they will look to make him dust at every opportunity they get against the rookie passer.

The Niners are the third-seeded team in the NFC with a 7-4 record, so it will not be easy for the Browns to look for a win. Although the game will be at the Browns’ home, it could give them a certain, very slight, almost imperceptible advantage.
Shedeur Sanders’ numbers against the Raiders
In his first game as a starter with the Cleveland Browns, Shedeur got 208 yards on 20 attempts, completing 11 of them with one touchdown and one interception in the 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Additionally, In this game and a half played so far, he has accumulated 256 total yards with one touchdown pass and two interceptions. His QBR is very low, only 4.5. Although he is just beginning to generate numbers that can elevate him quickly.
In his next game, he must continue to demonstrate that he has the capacity, the talent, and that spark that has achieved a significant change in the franchise, although winning at home will not be easy at all.
For now, he continues to enjoy the victory that gave a certain excitement to everyone on the team and to his fans who had only suffered game after game. The expectation remains very high for Shedeur, but that consecutive victory he longs for could well arrive.
