Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley said Saturday night that he hoped to give Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders a call before his game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Ravens defeated the Green Bay Packers to keep their playoff hopes alive and need the Browns to pull off an upset win over the Steelers. If Pittsburgh wins, they clinch the AFC North division title and a spot in the playoffs. If the Browns win, then the division title and a playoff spot would come down to their Week 18 game.

“I’m trying to get out of here so I can call Shedeur real quick and make sure he gets it done,” Huntley told reporters, adding that he would probably watch the game at home.
Huntley was in Browns training camp when he, Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco were all battling for the starting job. Flacco ended up winning the job before being traded mid-season, while Pickett was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. Huntley was cut and signed with the Ravens. Gabriel started a few games during the season and Sanders got his own showcase to end the season.
The former Pro Bowler got to know Sanders at the camp.

“Right when we got to the Browns. I knew about him and he probably knew about me, but when we got to the Browns, we bonded a little bit,” Huntley added. “He’s a cool guy.”
Sanders and the Browns pulling out a win would be the marquee win the young quarterback is looking for.

ESPN noted that Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s father, intercepted a pass from Aaron Rodgers when the latter quarterback played for the Green Bay Packers in 2005. Some 20 years later, Rodgers will compete against Sanders’ son in a pivotal game.
