and two sacks, resulting in a 13.5 passer rating. Despite initial completions, Sanders faced difficulties, including footwork issues and pressure from the Ravens' defense. The Browns lost the game 23-16, marking their third consecutive defeat.
Why It's Important?
Sanders' debut is significant as it highlights the challenges faced by rookie quarterbacks transitioning to the NFL. His performance will be closely monitored as the Browns assess their quarterback options, especially with Gabriel's uncertain status. Sanders' development and ability to adapt to the professional level will be crucial for the Browns' future strategy and success.
What's Next?
With Gabriel's status in question, Sanders may receive more practice time with the first-team offense, potentially starting in the Browns' next game against Las Vegas. The coaching staff will focus on improving Sanders' integration and performance, addressing the issues observed during his debut. The Browns will need to strategize effectively to overcome their current losing streak.
