Browns Start Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders: Breaking Down Decision
Shedeur Sanders’ 9-of-11, 74-yard outing against Buffalo strengthened his case as Todd Monken weighs a quick quarterback decision, Fowler reported.
- Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is expected to announce the starting quarterback by Monday following a competitive preseason battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders for the Week 1 job.
- Sanders has tilted the battle in his favor by connecting on 81.8% of his passes, while Watson completed just 41.7% of his attempts after missing two years due to an Achilles injury.
- During Saturday's 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Sanders recorded 74 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Watson finished with 35 yards and one interception playing alongside second-team players.
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday the quarterback competition "is essentially over," noting that Sanders possesses an "aura" and "presence" that have influenced the coaching staff's evaluation.
- The Browns begin the regular season on September 13 in Jacksonville, with Monken focused on selecting the quarterback who offers the best chance to win the team's opening matchup.
