Shedeur Sanders made his first NFL start on Sunday, and he showed out to make up for a lackluster debut last week.
The Cleveland Browns rookie threw for 209 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 11-of-20 passing in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
After the win, he met up with Raiders star Maxx Crosby on the field, asking the defensive end (in good fun) why he “tried to hit the s–t out of me.” Crosby responded by saying, “It’s what the f–k I do” (23:10 mark).
Sanders also had the chance to debrief with his father and former coach, Deion Sanders, who was in attendance (25:30). The elder Sanders offered him some advice while also letting him know that he “played good.”
Sander had a rough first game when he came in for Dillon Gabriel last week. In a loss to the Baltimore Ravens, he threw for just 47 yards on 4-of-16 passing with an interception.
After a bounce back game on Sunday, Sanders let fans know that he’s hear to stay.
“A lot of people wanted to see me fail,” he told reporters. “It ain’t gonna happen.”
