Shedeur Sanders Responds to Coaching Decisions After Browns' Narrow Loss to Bills
On December 21, 2025, the Cleveland Browns narrowly lost to the Buffalo Bills 23-20 in Cleveland. The Browns faced critical late-game decisions, including a turnover on downs at 5:08 remaining and a punt at 1:55 remaining, both while trailing by three points.
Shedeur Sanders, the Browns' quarterback, finished the game completing 20 of 29 passes for 157 yards, with one touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr., two interceptions, and was sacked twice. Sanders started the game on a positive note with a touchdown drive to Fannin before the Bills' defense made adjustments.
In the aftermath, Sanders pushed back on questions concerning coaching decisions, urging for unity within the team and consciously avoiding placing blame on coaches or players. Browns legend Joe Thomas expressed confidence that Sanders has the potential to become the franchise quarterback moving forward.
