Deion Sanders was in the building on Sunday to watch his son, Shedeur Sanders, deliver the best performance of his young NFL career against the Tennessee Titans.
Shedeur put on a show, throwing for 364 yards and accounting for four total touchdowns — three through the air and another on the ground. He had Cleveland within striking distance of a stunning comeback, but a pair of failed two-point attempts ultimately proved costly in the Browns’ 31-29 loss.
After the final whistle, Coach Prime summed up what he witnessed in a single word.
“Wow!” he posted on X. He followed it up with a message of gratitude and faith.
“But guess what GOD IS SO SO SO SO GOOD! We’re gonna praise him consistently with Passion & Purpose!” Deion Sanders said, tagging all of his family members, including Shedeur.
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Dealing With ‘Stuff Behind Curtain’
Deion Sanders has been in attendance for two of Shedeur Sanders’ first three starts — including his debut in Las Vegas in Week 12. But Sunday marked the first time he saw him take the field as a starter in Cleveland. With Colorado’s season wrapped up, Coach Prime also visited the Browns‘ facility during the week to pay Shedeur a visit. It’s been an unfamiliar shift for Deion, who coached Shedeur for most of his football life before handing him off to the pros.
Shedeur’s path hasn’t been linear. Once projected as an early first-round pick, he slid to the fifth round and entered the league with something to prove. He’s steadily climbed the depth chart and made the most of his chances, a progression his father has watched with pride and perspective.
“I know some stuff behind the curtain, so I offer him not just on-the-field advice, off-the-field advice, life advice, because he’s going through a lot,” Deion said. “A lot of stuff is coming at him and he’s doing a great job. Thank God that God prepared him for everything he’s dealing with. I think a lesser man would’ve crumbled. But he’s been built for this.”
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Weighs in on Failed Conversion
Sanders helped spark the Browns’ comeback, but he wasn’t on the field for the afternoon’s most pivotal snap. With the game hanging on a two-point conversion, Cleveland turned to a wildcat look and dialed up a bit of trickery. It backfired in spectacular fashion. Running back Quinshon Judkins never completed the handoff on a reverse and ultimately floated an errant pass that fell incomplete. Sanders did not question the call after the game.
“If I’m out there any play, you know, I would wish I would always have the ball in my hand, but that’s not what football is. Sometimes you got to run the ball, sometimes you got to kick a field goal,” Sanders said. “So in any situation, of course you would want to. But I know we practiced something, and we executed it in practice, and we just didn’t seem to this day. So, I would never go against what the call was or anything.”
Sanders and the Browns will look to get back on track next week with a stiff test against the Chicago Bears on the road.
