For most franchises, the preseason is about checking boxes and getting through what most people consider one of the most annoying times of the year. Teams are in the dog days of camp; the preseason games are mostly just a depth exhibition, and there is very little that comes from them other than injuries.
But the Cleveland Browns are not a normal franchise. Of course, an August Saturday in Cleveland, Ohio has become a major headline. There is an entire conversation to be had about the postgame press conference and how Deshaun Watson handled it. That can be found here.
This piece focuses solely on what happened between the white lines, and it was a tale of two completely different quarterbacks.
Shedeur Sanders got the start, and he took full advantage of his opportunity. He was flirting with a nearly flawless performance before a pass that was maybe a yard behind his receiver got deflected into the air and was intercepted. Other than that one play, he was in control; he was confident, he had great operation, and he was incredibly decisive.
Sanders finished the day going 9-for-11 for 74 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
