Overview
- Kevin Stefanski confirmed Sanders will start the remainder of 2025 after his career-best outing in a 31-29 loss to the Titans.
- Sanders went 23-of-42 for 364 yards with three passing touchdowns, one interception and a rushing score in his third NFL start.
- Stefanski accepted responsibility for failed late two-point calls, including pulling Sanders for the final try that did not convert.
- Cleveland views the starts as evaluation tape for offseason planning, with two first-round picks in 2026 giving flexibility at quarterback or elsewhere.
- Despite Deshaun Watson’s return to practice, Stefanski said Sanders remains QB1, as public reaction ranged from Deion Sanders’ pointed X post to praise from President Trump.
