Sanders biggest was asked about the interception. He said he was trying to make a play when he threw into double coverage and Xavier Woods returned the pass to the Browns 38 and the Titans turned it into a touchdown.
“I felt we were stagnant,” Sanders said. “We’re trying to get a spark. I’m trying to, so that’s all it is and as the game goes on, as time goes on and I know my dad’s mad at me for that, for sure. I know the team, everybody is, but I would say, as time goes on, those decisions and those things will slim down.
“We won’t be in situations where I have that feeling like I gotta make something happen.”
Sanders brought the Browns from two touchdowns behind, but said he found his ‘happy place’.
“I’ve been this way,” he said. “So, this is God showing a lot of people who I am. A lot of circumstances will sometimes get you mentally not in your best place. And you got to find your happy place. You got to find that it for you. So, I think that’s kind of, I’ve been praying and doing a lot, talking to God this week in general, to get back to that place, to get back there. So, yeah, it’s him. He’s the one did it for me.”
Stefanski talked about the maturation process of a rookie quarterback on Friday.
“It’s just a natural maturation of young players, certainly quarterbacks getting that feel for some of those looks that you’re seeing for the first time,” Stefanski said. “And you try to replicate those looks in practice and make it as full speed and realistic as you can be. And then sometimes you get to the game and it’s just that game speed. So, I think he’s doing a nice job of operating the offense. And knowing the person and knowing the player, I have no concerns about him letting it rip.”
