Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders lashed out at the media on Sunday after the team’s close loss to the Buffalo Bills at home.
The rookie faced questions from reporters about the Browns’ coaching decisions. Cleveland turned the ball over on downs with 5:08 left in the game and then opted to punt with 1:55 left in the game. Both times the Browns were down by only three points.

But Sanders again navigated the difficult waters afterward. He refused to throw any coach or player under the bus.
“I know you can’t ask me that question,” Sanders said with a smile. “Come on, man. Look, that’s the thing. If we want to change the narrative, if we want to change the franchise, that kind of thing separates us. A lot of the players get those kinds of questions. We want to work with all of you. We want to be proactive, but when questions are asked of us players and you pit things against each other, that’s it.”

“It’s like a locker room thing. We’re not going to be able to talk to them right. We’re not going to be able to give them what they need because it separates the team — it doesn’t help in any situation, no matter how you answer it.”
Sanders got off to a hot 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 a rhythm.
He was 20-of-29 with 157 passing yards, one touchdown pass and two interceptions. Both picks came off balls that either appeared in the air after a missed catch or tipped onto his throw. He was sacked twice in the game.

Sanders has shown flashes of brilliance in his starts and the ability to be a leader with his answers to reporters after games. But Cleveland can’t seem to break out of its losing ways.
