Shedeur Sanders makes Browns history with win over Raiders in first career start

Julian Edelman joins Colin Cowherd to discuss Shedeur Sanders’ first start in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs, and Drake Maye’s MVP-like season with the New England Patriots.

Shedeur Sanders is officially 1-0 in his NFL starting career.

The Cleveland Browns dominated the Las Vegas Raiders, 24-10, in Sanders’ first career start on Sunday.

All eyes were on Sanders, the fifth-round pick who had been waiting in the wings behind fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, as he got his shot to cement himself as the starter for the remaining games on the Browns’ schedule.

Sanders first career touchdown pass was all thanks to the efforts of running back Dylan Sampson, who took a screen 66 yards to the house in the fourth quarter to blow the game wide open with a 24-3 lead.
