Sanders' First NFL Game: A Tough Start for the Rookie Quarterback

Rookie Quarterback Shedeur Sanders Makes Debut

The Cleveland Browns faced a challenging defeat against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders making his first regular-season appearance. Sanders stepped in after Dillon Gabriel left the game with a concussion.

Gabriel's Solid First Half

Gabriel had a decent first half, completing 7 of 10 passes for 68 yards, but the Browns' offense struggled overall.

Sanders' Rough Debut

Sanders, however, had a tough debut, completing only 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards, with an interception and two sacks.

• First Pass: A 5-yard gain to Cedric Tillman
• Fumble: After being sacked by Kyle Hamilton (recovered by Browns)
• Interception: On his next drive
• Penalty: Intentional grounding, leading to a Ravens touchdown

Despite the struggles, Sanders showed confidence:

"I know I'm made for it."

Game Recap

• Final Score: Ravens 23, Browns 16
• Ravens' Record: 5-5
• Browns' Record: 2-8
• Standout Performance: Derrick Henry with 103 yards and a touchdown

Sanders' Journey to the NFL

Sanders' path to the NFL hasn't been smooth. Drafted in the fifth round after a controversial pre-draft process, the Browns took a chance on him. With Gabriel's status uncertain due to his concussion, Sanders might get another opportunity next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
