Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders scolded the media Sunday following the team’s close loss to the Buffalo Bills at home.
The rookie was asked by reporters about the Browns’ coaching decisions. Cleveland turned the ball over on downs with 5:08 left in the game, then elected to punt the ball with 1:55 left. Both times, the Browns only lost by three points.

But Sanders, once again, then navigated into difficult waters. He refused to throw a coach or player under the bus.
“I know you can’t ask me that question,” Sanders said with a smile. “Come on, man. See, that’s the problem. If we want to change the narrative, if we want to change the franchise, these kinds of things separate us. A lot of players get these kinds of questions. We want to work with all of you. We want to be proactive, but when questions are asked of us, the players, and you confront things with each other, it’s like, come on now.

“It’s like the locker room. We’re not going to be able to talk to them for real. We’re not going to be able to give them what they need because it divides the team – it doesn’t help in any situation, no matter how you respond to it.”
Sanders got off to a strong start against the Bills, throwing a touchdown pass on the game’s first drive to Harold Fannin Jr. However, he struggled a bit as the Bills defense got into rhythm.
He was 20 of 29 with 157 passing yards, one touchdown pass and two interceptions. Both picks came from balls that popped into the air after a missed catch or tipped during his throw. He was sacked twice in the game.

Sanders showed flashes of brilliance in his debut and his ability to be a leader with his responses to reporters after games. But Cleveland can’t seem to think outside the box.
