Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski officially named the rookie quarterback the starter for the final four games following his Week 14 surge.
- Sanders threw for 364 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing score in a 31-29 loss to the Titans, becoming only the second rookie since 1970 to hit those marks in one game.
- The Browns are 3-10 and out of contention, turning the remaining schedule into an audition to assess Sanders’ long‑term viability.
- Stefanski faced criticism for a late Wildcat two‑point try with Sanders off the field and took responsibility, while a report via Josina Anderson indicated no imminent coaching change is expected.
- With two first‑round picks in 2026, draft chatter now includes non‑QB options, including Field Yates’ projection of Ohio State WR Carnell Tate at No. 4 if Sanders continues to progress.
