Overview
- Sanders has been named the Week 12 starter against the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium as he steps in for the injured Dillon Gabriel.
- Cleveland elevated Bailey Zappe from the practice squad to serve as the backup quarterback.
- The Browns accelerated Sanders’ prep with extra Hungry Dawgs reps and one-on-one reviews with Kevin Stefanski, and Deshaun Watson traveled to advise from the sideline.
- Coaches designed a script featuring quick, short throws to build rhythm with select deep shots that align with Sanders’ strengths.
- Analysts view Las Vegas as a favorable matchup due to low pressure and sack rates, though DC Patrick Graham warned about Sanders’ habit of drifting backward after a 4-for-16, two-sack relief outing last week.
