Former fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders saw his first NFL regular season action as he replaced Dillon Gabriel, who suffered a concussion, in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback completed 4-of-16 passing for 47 yards with an interception and took two sacks as the team fell to 2-8 on the season. After the game, Sanders made it clear he believes in his ability to lead the team if given the opportunity to start.
"I think you've seen, it was just rough, overall. It was a rough day, overall. But the thing that I was excited about is just being able to get out there. This is the first time I got hit since my last game at Colorado," he said after the game. "So, just having that feeling back is good, and I feel fulfilled overall when it comes to being out there, practicing, going in between the lines, seeing what it's actually like. I know I'm made for it. I don't think there was a doubt in my mind that that final drive, [we were] going to go down there and score. Things happened and we didn't, but I was just excited because I knew what I was going to be able to do out there."

Despite suffering a loss in his first NFL action, Sanders received a strong message from Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett, who lauded the quarterback's decision to speak with the team after the game and attempt to accept blame for the loss.
“He spoke after the game and he wanted to pin it on himself and his performance,” Garrett said of the rookie quarterback. “But we’re not going to allow him to do that. It’s a team game. We’re all in this together.”
