Shedeur Sanders threw a touchdown pass and made good decisions in perhaps his last chance to convince coach Todd Monken he should be Cleveland’s starting quarterback in the Browns’ 31-7 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
Sanders, competing with Deshaun Watson to be the No. 1 QB, completed his first eight passes. He finished 9 of 11 for 74 yards with an interception on a ball he threw behind tight end Jermaine Terry, got tipped and picked by Damar Hamlin.
Playing with Cleveland’s second-string offensive line and mostly backups, Sanders was composed and showed patience in the pocket — something he didn’t always display as a rookie last season.
