Cleveland Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy and rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders got into a heated verbal spat on the sideline during a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Sanders and Jeudy were reviewing a play on the sideline tablet and disagreed on what should have happened. An animated Jeudy clapped his hands and appeared to say “that’s wrong” multiple times when Sanders tried to say his piece. Eventually, center Ethan Pocic stepped in and separated Sanders and Jeudy.
It wasn’t the only not-so-great interception between Jeudy and his rookie quarterback. Sanders missed on a deep throw to Jeudy early in the wind but it was just out of his reach. Jeudy retreated to the sideline, shaking his head.
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Addressed Jerry Jeudy After Loss
Jeudy finished the game with three catches for 26 yards. Sander completed 16-of-25 passes for 149 yards with a touchdown. He finished with a QB rating of 93.6.
Sanders said after the game that he’s still looking to find his comfort level with his receivers — Jeudy included.
“When we got in certain passing situations and field position, everything like that, it wasn’t the best,” Sanders said. “It wasn’t the best. It was a comfort level. I think as players and as teammates, we have to be able to gel with each other and be comfortable with each other in every situation. That takes time. It takes a lot of things. So this team is not going to be a microwave thing. We’re going to have sparks. We’re going to have here and there, but it’s going to take time to be able to develop that chemistry with everybody, to be on the same page with Jerry.”
Sanders also spoke specifically about his relationship with Jeudy and alluded to a lack of trust.
“You want to be able to get (Jeudy) the ball, but you’ve got to understand it’s going to take time. I’m more of a trust person and that’s just what it boils down to,” Sanders said. “So we have to spend time on task, with all those guys, and be able to trust and be able to see things at the same lens.”
Browns QB Jerry Jeudy Not Concerned About QB Situation
It’s been a rough year for Jeudy after a Pro Bowl campaign. He has just 35 catches for 421 yards and one touchdown this season. He also leads the NFL with nine drops. Jeudy addressed the quarterback situation ahead of the Week 13 matchup.
“I just keep being me — I can’t control nothing but myself. I just keep running routes and getting open,” Jeudy said. “That’s all I can do. I can’t control anything else.”
As for Sanders, Jeudy expressed a similar sentiment to his QB.
“We’ve got to keep doing what we’ve been doing in practice. Get consistent reps and be on the same page,” Jeudy said. “Just keep working on that chemistry and building. Speaking on what I see and what he sees out there. Just doing what the coaches ask.”
Sanders, Jeudy, and the Browns have a chance to get on track next week as they host the Tennessee Titans.
