Flacco Turnovers Intensify Browns QB Questions With Shedeur Sanders Still No. 3

Cleveland is sticking with Joe Flacco despite turnovers, leaving rookie Shedeur Sanders in a scout-team role.

Overview

  • Detroit led 20-7 at halftime after two Joe Flacco interceptions, including a miscommunication pick detailed by NBC Sports.
  • An earlier "horrific" interception against the Lions prompted fresh calls to consider rookies Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders, per The Sporting News.
  • Sanders told ESPN Cleveland he is ready to play now and believes he could outperform many current NFL starters.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Sanders’ work but signaled no change, keeping Flacco as starter with Gabriel as the primary backup and Sanders as QB3.
  • Radio hosts and former players criticized Sanders’ remarks, and ESPN’s Dan Graziano has predicted the Browns could discuss rookie QBs in trade talks before the deadline.
