The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> are one of the best teams in the NFL and one of their rookies has been playing lights out. In fact, he played that well, that he beat Cleveland Browns quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, in an award.



Pats running back Tre’Veyon Henderson won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Offensive Rookie of the Month for November. Henderson has been getting more and more snaps until becoming the RB1 of the team.



Despite <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>‘ becoming the first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> quarterback to win an NFL debut since 1995, he wasn’t able to win the award against the electric runner. The fact that both rookies are in entirely different situations might also played a part, but no one can deny that Henderson is deserving of the award.



<h2>Henderson broke a years-long streak</h2>



The last player from the Patriots to win an NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mac Jones</a> way back in November, 2021. Hence, Henderson broke a four-year drought. Pats fans must be rejoicing since it’s been a while that an offensive rookie has made waves in Foxborough.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251204_BUS_539277_treveyon-henderson_1bf9951d.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Treveyon Henderson #32 of the New England Patriots" class="wp-image-523673"></figure><figcaption>Treveyon Henderson #32 of the New England Patriots</figcaption></figure>



In Week 10, Henderson became the fourth rookie in NFL history to have multiple 50-yard rushing touchdowns in the same game. Henderson has surpassed 81 scrimmage yards in all four games during the month of November. He also scored five touchdowns.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/titans-receive-clear-message-from-shedeur-sanders-after-snubbing-him-ahead-of-browns-matchup"></div>


<h2>Henderson’s protagonism has been rising fastly</h2>



November is from Week 9 to Week 12. In Week 9, he had 75% of the snaps and in Week 10, he played 84% and then 88% in Week 11. However, those games were without Rhamondre Stevenson, who was injured. 



In Week 12, Stevenson was back, but Henderson still led the team in snaps, playing 65% of the offensive plays to Stevenson’s 31%, and Terrell Jennings the other 4%. Therefore, it’s safe to say that Henderson is the best back and the one with most upside on this offense.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> will have to face extra pressure in the coming weeks knowing that Deshaun Watson has returned to practice with the Browns. No one expected that situation in the quarterback room this season, as the second half of the schedule seemed set up to evaluate Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.



Now, Watson is in play even if he’s only taking individual reps in practice. This was Shedeur’s reaction when he was asked how much he is looking forward to having Deshaun out there with him. “I feel like it’s great he’s going out there to practice. I know he’s been working hard and recovering. Doing everything he’s able to do for this day.”



After that brief answer, another reporter asked him how Deshaun Watson has been a help for the rookie, maybe with installing the game plan or offering other insights in the quarterback room of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a>. Shedeur looked uncomfortable and evasive. “Yeah, what we do in there, we’re gonna keep it in there for sure.”



<h2>Is Shedeur Sanders going to start for the Browns vs Titans?</h2>



Yes. Shedeur Sanders will start for the Browns against the Titans, but from both a short-term and long-term perspective, Deshaun Watson could become a possible competitor on the depth chart if his recovery continues to go well.


 

 


Sanders and Gabriel haven’t lived up to expectations, so the team’s ownership might want to take one last look at whether Watson still has anything left in the tank after that massive trade with the Texans in 2022.



Minutes later in that same press conference, when a reporter asked him again about how Kevin Stefanski has talked about Deshaun being helpful in meetings, Shedeur didn’t want to talk about the topic. “They just asked about that.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-shedeur-sanders-proclaims-himself-next-browns-franchise-quarterback-with-clear-message-to-fans-and-kevin-stefanski"></div>


The reporter followed up, saying he hoped the rookie quarterback would talk not only about what Watson does on the sidelines but also about how he has helped the younger players in meetings. “Well, I say for sure what we do in the meeting room we keep it to ourselves. Whenever we’re in the building, we kind of keep that between us.”

NFL News: Shedeur Sanders’ intriguing message and reaction after Browns confirm Deshaun Watson is back with Cleveland

Week 14 is special for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>. He will face the Tennessee Titans, who snubbed him in the 2025 NFL Draft in favor of Cam Ward, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> quarterback is now ready to prove his real value.



Before the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, everyone believed Shedeur Sanders would be selected among the top 5 picks. However, he kept falling until the Browns picked him at No. 144 overall, and he started the season as QB3 behind Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel.



Now, with Flacco out and Gabriel injured, Sanders has taken over as the starter. The QB will face the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a>, who many believed would select him in the draft, and revenge is now a real possibility.



<h2>Shedeur Sanders gets brutally honest on facing Cam Ward, Titans in Week 14</h2>



When the Titans were on the clock at No. 1 overall, there were many doubts about who they would choose. A quarterback was the main option, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-ward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cam Ward</a> and Shedeur Sanders as the top prospects available.



Nevertheless, the Titans did not think twice and went with Cam Ward. On the other hand, Sanders was snubbed by every other team until the Browns finally rescued him in the fifth round.



The Titans are currently 1-11 with Ward as their starter. As for Shedeur, he has managed to become the Browns starter after a tough start to his rookie season, standing at a 1-1 record with solid performances so far.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-browns-send-clear-message-on-quarterback-competition-rumors-between-shedeur-sanders-and-deshaun-watson"></div>


Now, Week 14 will put Shedeur Sanders in front of the team that did not make him the No. 1 overall pick. However, the former Buffaloes standout says he has nothing against Ward over stealing “his spot” and only wants to win for his team and himself.



“Nah, I think it’s nothing extra within myself,” Shedeur Sanders said about facing Cam Ward, via a transcript from the team. “It’s a lot of great quarterbacks, you know, week by week that we play against. So, I wouldn’t say this adds anything.”



<h2>Shedeur Sanders mentality may be changing</h2>



The fall of Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft surprised everyone. For many analysts, he was one of the most talented quarterbacks available, but his mentality raised questions among several clubs.



However, it seems that Shedeur is now understanding what it means to be part of the NFL. In two starts, while he is still the same confident player he was at Colorado, he has shown more maturity — and if he continues on that path, many believe he could become the franchise QB the Browns need.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> and Kevin Stefanski seem to have just sparked another controversy with only five games left in the 2025 season. Although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> remains the team’s starting quarterback, the head coach surprisingly announced that Deshaun Watson has been cleared to practice and is officially back.



This has sparked rumors that, given the poor performances of Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, owner Jimmy Haslam wants to make one last attempt to look what Watson has to offer.



This was Stefanski’s response when asked if it is the organization’s desire to see Watson on the field if possible. “Yeah, that’s really not my focus. It’s not his focus right this minute. His focus is putting a helmet on against for the first time, shoulder pads, throwing the football. That’s where the focus is.”



<h2>Will the Browns trade Deshaun Watson?</h2>



The Browns still haven’t decided whether they will trade Deshaun Watson, since their situation at the quarterback position is very unstable with two rookies, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, at the top of the depth chart.


 

 


However, no one expected Watson’s return to practice, so Mary Kay Cabot asked Stefanski directly if this was an attempt by the team’s ownership to salvage that controversial trade with the Texans. The head coach completely avoided the topic.



“Yeah, that’s not my focus. Really I’m just excited for him to be able to go back out there on the field. I think for any player when you’re rehabbing, the next step getting out there on the practice field is a big step. He’s been working so hard rehabbing. So, finally to get out there on the practice field with his teammates, I think is really great for him. I’m excited for him. His focus and my focus is obviously getting him back to playing football and practicing football, which he hasn’t done in over a year. It’s a good next step for him, but our focus obviously continues to remain on the Tennessee Titans. Big game.”

Cleveland Browns send clear message on starting quarterback competition rumors between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson

NFL News: Browns have reportedly made huge decision about Shedeur Sanders’ future as starting quarterback in Cleveland

Browns send clear message on starting quarterback competition rumors between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson - Bolavip US

Browns send clear message on QB competition rumors between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson

When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a> was just solidifying his status as the starting quarterback, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> delivered concerning news that puts the security of his job in doubt for the near future.



A few days ago, the Browns named Shedeur Sanders their QB1 after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dillon-gabriel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dillon Gabriel</a> entered concussion protocol. The rookie is 1-1 as a starter, and many fans see him as the future of the franchise.



Unfortunately for him, a new challenge has emerged. On Wednesday, the Browns confirmed that <a href="https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/browns-designate-qb-deshaun-watson-for-return-to-practice" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson has been designated to return to practice</a>, creating an unexpected competition for the former Colorado standout.



<h2>Is Deshaun Watson a real threat to Shedeur Sanders?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deshaun-watson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson</a> is attempting a comeback after tearing his Achilles for the second time. The veteran has not enjoyed strong recent seasons, dealing with multiple injuries and off-the-field issues that have limited his availability.



During Watson’s absence, the Browns have cycled through several quarterbacks, including two rookies this year. Now, with Shedeur Sanders in control of the offense, Watson’s return raises new questions about the rookie’s long-term grip on the job.



Cleveland has opened Watson’s 21-day practice window. If he is not activated during that period, he must remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. This is where things get interesting.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kevin-stefanski-confirms-browns-lose-key-shedeur-sanders-teammate-for-2025-nfl-season"></div>


The Browns are not expected to bench Shedeur Sanders in favor of Watson. However, the team is preparing to activate the veteran to add depth to the position, especially with Dillon Gabriel still holding the QB2 role and Watson likely becoming the third-string option.



According to reports, Cleveland has already decided to move on from Watson next year, with both Sanders and Gabriel being evaluated as potential long-term QB1 candidates. Nevertheless, Shedeur must avoid major mistakes or injuries, as any setback could open the door for Gabriel or even Watson to take over.



<h2>Will Deshaun Watson be released or traded?</h2>



As of now, Watson’s future remains uncertain. While the Browns seem committed to giving Sanders the remainder of the season to prove he can be their franchise quarterback, Watson still looms as a potential fallback option if things go wrong.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251203_BUS_538459_deshaun-watson_678e9a9c.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="DeShaun Watson" class="wp-image-501718" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Quarterback Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



Releasing Watson would be financially painful, as his 2026 salary is fully guaranteed. He also carries a no-trade clause, which complicates any potential move and could force the Browns to keep him on the roster until his contract expires next season.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski reveals key news for Shedeur Sanders on QB battle against Dillon Gabriel

Browns raise alarms for Shedeur Sanders with new update potentially concerning his status as starting QB - Bolavip US

In the epilogue of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> regular season, things continue to trend downhill for the Cleveland Browns. To the already dire current situation for Kevin Stefanski’s team, the significant news has been added that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> will no longer be able to count on one of his key teammates due to a serious injury.



According to reporter Mike Garafolo on his X account, Maliek Collins will undergo surgery after suffering a severe quad injury, ending his season. One of the Browns’ most impactful defensive tackles, now bids farewell until next year.



From here on out, Shelby Harris is expected to see increased playing time, as he had been listed behind him on the depth chart. Undoubtedly, the Browns’ head coach is now facing yet another significant loss as the season comes to a close.



In what has been a season filled with injury-related setbacks, yet another obstacle has emerged for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski">Stefanski</a>’s lineup as the campaign nears its end. It will now be a matter of finishing this stretch in the most respectable way possible.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251201_BUS_537468_maliek-collins_6ccdd6fb.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Maliek Collins" class="wp-image-537518"></figure><figcaption>Maliek Collins #96 of the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>How much do the Browns’ defense lose without Collins?</h2>



The Cleveland Browns face a significant defensive downgrade whenever they are without Maliek Collins, who has been a formidable force this 2025 season. Collins’s absence is keenly felt, particularly in the pass rush, given his impressive tally of 6.5 sacks. Beyond his ability to pressure the quarterback, he is a reliable run-stopper, evidenced by his 15 solo tackles. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/a-shedeur-sanders-teammate-makes-big-claim-against-a-49ers-player-after-browns-loss-in-week-13"></div>


While his statistics show zero forced fumbles or interceptions, his sustained disruptive presence up the middle is essential to the overall effectiveness of the Browns’ defense, and losing him means the team sacrifices a high level of interior penetration and impact plays.



<h2>What lies ahead for the Browns down the stretch</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a> face a formidable schedule to conclude the season, with their playoff hopes hinging on success against a tough rotation of opponents. They begin with two crucial matchups, hosting the Tennessee Titans before traveling to face the Chicago Bears. 



The schedule then intensifies with back-to-back home games against two major AFC rivals, the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Finally, they will close the regular season on the road against the divisional rival Cincinnati Bengals. This challenging slate will test the Browns’ depth and resolve as they fight for a postseason berth.



<h2>Can the Browns still make the Playoffs?</h2>



It’s very difficult, yes. But according to the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">NFL’s official site</a>, the Cleveland Browns still hold a 1% chance of securing a Wild Card spot. In a league where anything can happen, fans are still clinging to the hope of pulling off a major upset.

Kevin Stefanski confirms Browns lose key Shedeur Sanders teammate for 2025 NFL season - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> won a tough visit against the Cleveland Browns. The game got chirpy and then, a Shedeur Sanders teammate had something to say regarding one of the rival players.



A week ago, 49ers’ Jauan Jennings suffered a low blow. Well, for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> defensive tackle Shelby Harris, he deserved it: “He’s a h–, and I want that known. Like I see why he got punched in the nuts, because he said some things that you should not say to another man, ever. But, like, I don’t respect it because you say that, then run behind your O-line. That’s some real soft s—, and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched him in the nuts. I’m surprised nobody’s punched him in the jaw yet.“



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/myles-garrett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Myles Garrett</a> also spoke on the matter, saying, “I can’t speak for how he was raised, but if you have nothing good to say, don’t say something to somebody. So, he had a lot to say that was demeaning and disparaging towards some of our players. And I was just trying to separate everybody. And I tried to go up and ask for what the problem was, and then he started coming at me and, I mean, some guys just roll like that.”



<h2>Jennings hasn’t spoken on any incident</h2>



After last week’s low blow, Jennings retaliated with a right slap and he was fined. After the Browns game, Jennings wasn’t spotted in the postgame locker room. Which makes it all but more suspicious.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251201_BUS_537355_jauan-jennings_a1fea075.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jauan Jennings #15 of the San Francisco 49ers" class="wp-image-507540" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Jauan Jennings #15 of the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



Jennings is a very good receiver, and actually had four catches for 39 yards and one touchdown. However, if he continues to make enemies, he could expose himself to being targeted by opposing defenses.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/browns-hc-kevin-stefanski-reveals-key-news-for-shedeur-sanders-as-qb-battle-continues-against-dillon-gabriel"></div>


<h2>The 49ers can’t afford to lose another weapon</h2>



San Francisco is very injured right now, so the 49ers can’t afford that someone hits Jennings with bad intentions and sidelines him. If Jennings gets injured, the 49ers don’t have any other receiver with his skills.



It’s not like quarterback Brock Purdy is playing lights out right now, so he needs all the help he can get. In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a> might have outplayed him on Sunday. Purdy is constantly saved by Jennings’ huge catch ratio and safe hands. It might not seem like it, but Jennings is more important to this team than what meets the eye.

Shedeur Sanders teammate makes strong claim against 49ers player after Browns' loss in Week 13 - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> lost their Week 13 game but quarterback Shedeur Sanders showed glimpses of talent despite the bad result. After the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski made something clear as the QB battle against fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel continues.



Per Cameron Wolfe of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, Kevin Stefanski assured that Shedeur Sanders will start next Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. This will be the third-straight start for Sanders after taking the starting spot over Dillon Gabriel.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dillon-gabriel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gabriel</a> played six games as the starter and had a 1-5 record, while Sanders is 1-1. Now, while Gabriel might be a more secure QB, he brings a very low ceiling. Sanders can be a bit more reckless, but his upside is tremendous.



<h2>Sanders will play against his college nemesis</h2>



There are a few clips that show <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-ward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cam Ward</a> and Shedeur Sanders training together and there is a visible tension between them. While Sanders is an extrovert, Ward just wants to focus on playing football. Now, they will face each other next week for bragging rights. They have declared they are friends, but a sports rivalry is surely there.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251130_BUS_536981_cam-ward-3_21246d2f.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans." class="wp-image-508462" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans.</figcaption></figure>



Ward is 1-10 with the Titans and while his overall play is not good, his talent is also undeniable. Ward is completing less than 60% of his passes and has seven touchdowns to six interceptions. However, the eye test suggests that he has arm talent to spare. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a> are certainly not helping him look better.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/shedeur-sanders-draws-7-word-reaction-from-lebron-james-with-great-play-in-browns-vs-49ers"></div>


<h2>Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders had an indirect battle in college</h2>



Last season, Cam Ward ended fourth in the Heisman run. Sanders wasn’t a finalist, but a key weapon of his ended up winning the Heisman. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Hunter</a> was the best receiver in Colorado, where Sanders played. Now, Hunter also played cornerback at a very high level, but his production offensively came thanks to Sanders in part.



Curiously enough, Browns’ teammate Dillon Gabriel ended third in the Heisman votes. Now, Sanders, who was below all of them, is starting over Gabriel and will likely be favored in his matchup against Ward.

Kevin Stefanski reveals key news for Shedeur Sanders on QB battle vs Dillon Gabriel

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> are in the middle of a battle against the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders made an incredible play and NBA superstar LeBron James reacted to it.



On his X profile, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a> said, “Helluva read and pass 12! Keep going!” While LeBron is a basketball player, he is an avid fan of football and even played tight end as a young prospect. He is now rooting for Shedeur Sanders to beat the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> and establish himself as the QB1 of James’ hometown team.



In the final seconds of the second quarter, Sanders received a snap from the shotgun formation, planted his foot and stepped forward to throw an absolute dot to rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a touchdown.



<h2>Sanders is showing plenty of promise</h2>



While still a very raw prospect, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> has given the Browns a new dimension. Before he was appointed as QB1, the Browns had little to no explosive plays. Dillon Gabriel is not capable of slinging it as Shedeur. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Shedeur Sanders throws a 34-yard touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr.!

</div></figure>



Shedeur will miss wide open looks, but his upside is much better and he is not afraid to throw it downfield. He will make mistakes, but he will also create big plays, and the Browns should be fine with that.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-browns-have-reportedly-made-huge-decision-about-shedeur-sanders-future-as-starting-quarterback-in-cleveland"></div>


<h2>The Browns have a very good team to join Sanders</h2>



While the Browns don’t have an incredible wide receiver room, the wideouts are more than capable. They have one of the best tight end duos in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> with Fannin and David Njoku. Also, a great rookie running back like Quinshon Judkins.



As for the defense, it’s one of the best defenses in the NFL guided by the very aggressive defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Also, they have Hall of Fame talent defensive end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/myles-garrett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Myles Garrett</a> wrecking havoc weekly. If Sanders develops into a good quarterback, this is a playoff team.

Shedeur Sanders draws 7-word reaction from LeBron James with great play in Browns vs 49ers

Shedeur Sanders draws 7-word reaction from LeBron James with great play in Browns vs 49ers - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> has earned, with his performances, a real opportunity to be the starting quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> in the near future. According to a report by Adam Schefter, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided that if the team keeps winning, Shedeur will remain as QB1 despite the recovery of Dillon Gabriel.



“Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders played well enough in his first NFL start last Sunday that he made Cleveland’s decision to start him again an easy one. Sanders now has the opportunity not only to start again Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers but also to play well enough to continue earning starts for the rest of this season. The Browns are open to giving Sanders an extended look for the rest of this season, just as fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel got in the first half of this season, sources told ESPN. But much of that decision will be dictated by how Sanders plays, starting Sunday.”



Sanders suffered a very hard blow last April when he fell to the fifth round of the draft. Several reports pointed to interest from teams such as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> or the New York Giants, but the former Colorado star dropped dramatically down the board. As the months went by, after being selected by Cleveland, he moved up the depth chart to his current position as the starter.



<h2>Will Browns release Shedeur Sanders?</h2>



No. The Browns have no intention of releasing Shedeur Sanders after he showed in training camp, preseason, and in his debut against the Raiders that he has potential as an NFL quarterback. For now, the rumors about a possible departure are over.


 

 


Schefter mentioned that the outlook has changed drastically. Now, in something nobody would have predicted a few months ago, this is Shedeur Sanders’ job to lose.



“This is the opportunity in front of Sanders. The Browns are open to playing him now, but they also are not rushing to any judgments. For now, they know he is their quarterback and he has another chance to gain more trust, silence more critics and prove he can be the Browns’ answer at quarterback.”

Browns have reportedly made a huge decision about Shedeur Sanders' future

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> and the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most intriguing matchups in Week 13 of the NFL. Now, the host team’s head coach Kevin Stefanski has revealed an aspect of the game that could directly impact how quarterback Shedeur Sanders plays.



It’s post-Thanksgiving and that only means one thing, football weather is back. Few cities have as much football weather as Cleveland and coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stefanski</a> said the team is expecting “All of it.” This means drizzle, snow, and cold and windy weather.



Stefanski said the weather predictions can be tricky. “We’ve been in this situation a lot, where the weather doesn’t look good, and then sometimes you get down there and it was maybe overhyped or wasn’t accurate. At times, you don’t think it’s a big factor, and then it’s raining for a half. So you definitely have contingencies built into your game plan.” This could harm <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>, as QBs usually struggle when football weather is that big of a factor.



<h2>Brock Purdy can struggle too</h2>



Fresh off a three-interception game, going into a complicated weather and facing a top-tier defense is not exactly the best scenario to bounce back. Still, that’s what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> will have to do if he wants the 49ers to win this game.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251128_BUS_535667_brock-purdy-8-1_5376ce14.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers." class="wp-image-439231" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers. </figcaption></figure>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> can’t slip as they are in pursuit of a playoff berth. A loss here could really damage their chances. The team has been collecting wins despite injuries but this week could prove too big of a test if Purdy doesn’t play well.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/shedeur-sanders-sends-clear-message-on-kevin-stefanski-allegedly-sabotaging-him-as-browns-starting-quarterback"></div>


<h2>Shedeur needs a solid game</h2>



Sanders just got his debut out of the way but, if he wants to continue being a starter he needs to have a good outing. It doesn’t have to be stellar, but he needs to take care of the ball and at least manage to make a decent game. If not, the QB debate could spark once again.



Sanders did look good in his debut but he wasn’t incredible. In fact, half of his yards came from two passes alone and while one was a dime, the other was a checkdown. Still, if Sanders plays well, not only can the Browns upset the 49ers, but he can also cement himself as the starter.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> avoided falling into the trap a reporter seemed to be setting for him when, during a press conference, he was about to ask him regarding fans who claim that head coach Kevin Stefanski was sabotaging him with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a>. “So, you just want to start trouble, huh?”



The reporter had to change his stance and, instead, asked the rookie quarterback about his current relationship with Stefanski. “Well, what people do outside the building isn’t really in my control. It’s not in my power. Overall, I’m just happy to be here. Coach Stefanski has been doing a a great job with everything that’s going on. Definitely like a coach. He tells me what I need to do on and off the field. We’ve definitely grown. Our relationship and everything has grown. So, I’m just thankful to be here.”



Since the last draft, many media personalities and fans have speculated that Kevin Stefanski didn’t want Shedeur and that the decision to select him, even though they already had Dillon Gabriel, was made directly by the team owner, Jimmy Haslam. Although that was never proven, the head coach was always very reserved about Sanders’ situation during the preseason and later in the regular season.



<h2>Is Shedeur Sanders starting for Browns vs 49ers?</h2>



Yes. Shedeur Sanders will start for the Browns against the San Francisco 49ers. Dillon Gabriel is already out of the concussion protocol, but, Kevin Stefanski has decided to give Shedeur another opportunity after his solid performance in the win over the Raiders.


 

 


Even though everything has changed for Shedeur in just a few days and he now controls his own destiny as the Browns’ starting quarterback, the rookie warned that he hasn’t lost his humility. When Stefanski gave him the QB1 job again, he told him that he would keep fighting to earn that role permanently.



“Well, I say I’m definitely not comfortable, though. So, that’s first and foremost that I have another opportunity to go out there. But, in life, you got to understand how quickly things come or how long it comes. It could be taken at any point in time. So, I’m never comfortable in a situation I’m in. I always want to exceed expectations and I always want to grow. Each and every week, I will want to put a better product of myself. Be a better version of myself for the team to be out there.”

Shedeur Sanders sends clear message on Kevin Stefanski allegedly sabotaging him with Browns

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> are preparing to face Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Kyle Shanahan opened up about his feeling on facing Deion Sanders‘ son. It’s a unique moment for the coach’s career.



Speaking to reporters, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shanahan</a> said, “It is weird just because he was my hero growing up. He was probably my number one player, just in terms of being a true fan of.” Shanahan then added, “I always talk about how I got his jersey in ’94 and wore it for about six months straight till someone jacked it from me. I’m still looking for that guy. But no, he was such a unique player.”



Now, Shanahan has the task to compete and beat Shedeur Sanders on Sunday. The 49ers are in the middle of a playoff race, while Sanders is trying to establish himself as an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> starting quarterback.



<h2>Sanders made history in his Browns’ starting debut</h2>



By winning in his starting debut, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> became the only Browns QB to win in his first game as a starter in nearly 30 years. Sanders completed 11 of 20 attempts for 209 yards with one touchdown and an interception.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251127_BUS_534795_shedeur-sanders-5_84580aa1.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Shedeur Sanders #12 of the Cleveland Browns." class="wp-image-533142"></figure><figcaption>Shedeur Sanders #12 of the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> were able to beat the Raiders and while Sanders was good, he wasn’t stellar. Still, he at least provided some big plays, and that’s an upside the Browns didn’t have prior to him being under center.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/donald-trump-reacts-to-shedeur-sanders-impressive-first-nfl-start-with-browns"></div>


<h2>The 49ers can’t have a mishap against the Browns</h2>



Despite all the injuries they’ve suffered, the 49ers are still alive and in the mix for a playoff berth. Right now, the 49ers hold the seventh seed in the NFC, the last playoff spot. However, they can’t afford to lose, as the Lions are breathing on their neck.



Hence, San Francisco needs a win to keep its hopes alive. With a plethora of injuries, Kyle Shanahan has put one of his best coaching seasons so far in the NFL. Now, he wil have to put a clinic to beat <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deion Sanders</a>‘ son.

In their latest outing against the Raiders, the Cleveland Browns were without Dillon Gabriel, who was in concussion protocol. Now cleared to play in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, Kevin Stefanski has made an important decision between the former Oregon quarterback and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a>.



According to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Ian Rapoport, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Browns’ head coach has confirmed that Sanders will remain the starter following his outstanding performance in Las Vegas.



“The #Browns are naming QB Shedeur Sanders as their starting QB this week against the #49ers, sources say. After the rookie fifth-rounder impressed with a 209-yard passing day with a TD, he gets another start,” the insider reported via @RapSheet.



Sanders’ outstanding performance at Allegiant Stadium even drew <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/donald-trump-reacts-to-shedeur-sanders-impressive-first-nfl-start-with-browns">a reaction from President Donald Trump himself</a>. The QB carried his teammates to an important 24–10 victory, and he’ll look to do the same next weekend against the Bay Area squad.

<h2>A promising debut as starter</h2>



Shedeur Sanders secured an emblematic 24-10 victory for the Browns in his first NFL start against the Raiders. He finished the game completing 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, highlighted by his first career touchdown—a crucial 66-yard screen pass in the fourth quarter—and only just one interception.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-that-finished-a-season-winless"></div>


<h2>What happened to Gabriel?</h2>



Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel was placed in concussion protocol following the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on November 16, 2025. This injury, sustained during the Ravens game, forced him to miss the subsequent Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Every year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> is framed by championship aspirations and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> dreams. But beneath the glittering surface of triumph lies a deeper, often more complex history built not on trophies, but on sheer resilience.



The journey of a professional football team is a marathon measured in wins and losses, and for some franchises, those losses trace a long story of resilience shaped by decades of hardship.



Seasons also trace moments that reshaped front offices, redirected draft strategies and redefined expectations. In the shadow of defeat, teams rebuilt identities, leaving behind the years that pushed them to rock bottom.



<h2>1960 Dallas Cowboys: The birth of a legend (0-11-1)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533083_1960-Dallas-Cowboys-1_f9b90df0.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533088"></figure><figcaption>1960 Dallas Cowboys (Source: Otto Greule Jr./Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The year 1960 marked a foundational milestone and a brutal welcome for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>. This wasn’t merely the debut of one of the sport’s most valuable and recognized franchises, but also the baptism by fire that would forge their character.



Under the guidance of the legendary Tom Landry, the team entered the fray with a roster that was, frankly, more a collection of young prospects and cast-offs than a cohesive unit.



The final balance sheet was a stark 0 wins, 11 losses, and 1 tie, earning them the distinction of being, in the eyes of many historians, the first modern team to complete a season without a single victory.



The only moment of respite came in a 31-31 tie against the Steelers in Week 12. The historical footnote is vital: although the record is infamous, the nucleus of this struggling season laid the groundwork for future greatness, proving that even the worst defeats can be the prelude to an empire. The true “birth of America’s Team” was a difficult labor.



<h2>1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The wit of John McKay (0-14)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533083_1976-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-1_98ebf34b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533089"></figure><figcaption>1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers)</figcaption></figure>



If American football were a stage play, the inaugural season of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> would be a tragic comedy of errors. In 1976, the NFL expansion brought these “Bucs” to the league, led by the charismatic and often sarcastic head coach John McKay.



McKay became famous for his handling of the media amidst the disaster. When questioned about the team’s poor execution, he supposedly delivered the iconic line: “We have our moments. We see about 40 minutes of terrible football and 20 minutes of mistakes“.



The final record was a humiliating 0-14, but the magnitude of the failure goes beyond the win column: the Bucs lost their first 26 games in total (including 1977), establishing a losing streak record that is virtually unbreakable in the modern era.



This season is a case study on the immense difficulty of building a franchise from scratch, becoming the gold standard for winless campaigns in the 14-game schedule era.



<h2>1982 Baltimore Colts: The strike that couldn’t help (0-8-1)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533083_1982-Baltimore-Colts-1_7fc7fecd.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533090"></figure><figcaption>1982 Baltimore Colts (Source: Colts.com)</figcaption></figure>



In an atypical year marked by labor friction, the Baltimore Colts managed the dubious feat of being the only team in this exclusive club to achieve this low point during the strike era.



The 1982 season was interrupted by a player walkout that reduced the calendar to just nine games. One would hope a shorter campaign offered an escape route, a chance to “stumble” into a victory. It was not to be.



The Colts, a team already struggling with identity and performance issues, simply could not crack the winning formula. Their final ledger of 0-8-1 felt particularly bitter, as they ended the campaign with a tie against the divisional rival Chargers in the final game.



The team not only failed to secure a win, but its offensive performance was anemic and the defense rarely contained opponents. This sad balance was, for many, a foreshadowing of what was to come: the eventual and painful relocation of the team to Indianápolis two years later.



<h2>2008 Detroit Lions: The modern era’s disgrace (0-16)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533083_2008-Detroit-Lions-1_965c1a9e.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533093"></figure><figcaption>2008 Detroit Lions (Source: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



2008 was the year of implosion for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a>. In the era of the 16-game regular schedule, this team became synonymous with total failure, setting a mark few believed possible: the infamous 0-16. What makes this season particularly memorable is not just the lack of wins, but the talent that, incredibly, failed to generate a single triumph.



Figures like wide receiver Calvin Johnson, though still young, were part of a locker room that seemed incapable of closing out games. The season was plagued by close losses that slipped away in the fourth quarter, indicating that the problem wasn’t always a lack of effort, but a profound lack of leadership and a winning mentality in crucial moments.



The final nail in the coffin was a loss in the last game against the Packers, sealing their destiny and carving the name of the 2008 Lions into the history books as the first NFL team to lose every game in a full 16-game schedule.



<h2>2017 Cleveland Browns: An 18-month calamity (0-16)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251124_BUS_533083_Kenny-Britt-Browns-1_5f0fba51.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533094"></figure><figcaption>Kenny Britt #18 of the Cleveland Browns in 2017. (Source: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> of 2017 not only repeated the 0-16 mark set by the Lions, but they did so in the context of a losing streak that spanned across seasons, reaching 17 consecutive losses (including the end of the 2016 season).



Led by Hue Jackson, the franchise seemed to have found the absolute nadir of its already turbulent existence. This season was not just a series of defeats, but a testament to the organization’s instability, with constant changes in management and the quarterback position.



The worst offense, perhaps, was the loss in Week 17, a “winnable” encounter against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were playing many backups to rest their stars for the playoffs. Cleveland had the chance to avoid the zero, but succumbed once again, securing their place alongside Detroit.



The 0-16 felt less like an accident and more like the inevitable culmination of years of mismanagement. It remains a deep stain on the history of one of the league’s oldest franchises.
