- Sanders went 23-of-42 for 364 yards with three passing touchdowns, one interception, and a rushing score in the 31-29 loss.
- The commitment holds even with Deshaun Watson back at practice, ending the team’s week-to-week approach at the position.
- The fifth-round pick rose from fourth on the depth chart after roster moves and Dillon Gabriel’s concussion and is 1-2 in three starts with five TD passes this season.
- Insiders say his progress strengthens his 2026 case as Cleveland weighs using two 2026 first-round picks on offensive help, with his audition continuing versus the Bears, Bills, Steelers and Bengals.
