CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns (3-10) learn more about rookie quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, when they play the Chicago Bears (9-4) Sunday in Chicago.
The Bears have an opportunistic defense that has created the most takeaways in the NFL this year, including a league-best 18 interceptions. Sanders wants to continue improving game-by-game, but the Chicago defense may make it tough on the rookie.
Chicago’s offense is led by quarterback Caleb Williams, whose athletic style is similar to Sanders in that he can move around behind the line of scrimmage buying a few more seconds to find an open receiver and stretch the field vertically. Williams is a better runner who likes to leave the pocket.
Look for the Bears to pressure Sanders into regressing with two interceptions and a fumble. Bears win 35-17.
