Overview
- Cleveland fell 31-3 to the Bears at Soldier Field as the rookie went 18-of-35 for 177 yards with three interceptions, a 30.3 passer rating and five sacks.
- Stefanski said Sanders will start the final three games, setting up a short evaluation window against the Bills, Steelers and Bengals.
- Reports described a depleted offensive line that allowed frequent pressure, and Stefanski acknowledged an early sideline error that sent Sanders out with the wrong play-calling wristband.
- One interception came on a well-placed end-zone throw that hit Jerry Jeudy in the chest before Jaylon Johnson wrestled it away; Sanders defended his teammate, and Deion Sanders posted a supportive message.
- Myles Garrett added to his sack total and is approaching the NFL single-season record, one of the few positives on a 3-11 team.
