The Cleveland Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. It’s the first career start for Shedeur Sanders, so this is either going to be wondrous or a complete turkey.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 12 game between the Browns and Raiders:
CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) – Browns 20, Raiders 17
This will be Shedeur Sanders making his first start for the Browns. The good news is he’s facing a Raiders team that struggles against the pass. The Raiders offense has issues protecting Geno Smith as well, which could be setting up
a big day for Myles Garrett. The Browns will win a low-scoring game.
CBS Sports (John Breech) – Browns 19, Raiders 16
Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) – Raiders 16, Browns 10
The Browns might need to start one time Raiders’ draft prospect of note Shedeur Sanders at QB, which is a great thing. … for the Raiders. Myles Garrett and Cleveland’s defense falls to earth on the road, while Maxx Crosby and his teammates will like teeing off on a overwhelmed rookie, whether it’s Sanders or Dillon Gabriel.
Sporting News (Bill Bender) – Raiders 20, Browns 19
Will Shedeur Sanders start? That’s one of the burning questions for two teams that rank in the bottom five in scoring offense. Myles Garrett — who had four sacks in Week 10 — and Maxx Crosby – who has heated up at home – are going to be key players in what should be an ugly matchup. The Raiders are 3-0 S/U against the Browns since moving to Las Vegas.
