Enthusiasm for Shedeur Sanders appeared to wane Sunday when the Cleveland Browns rookie struggled in the team’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers and faced questions about playmaking from head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Sanders had a touchdown pass to Harold Fannin Jr., which helped Cleveland take a lead in the second quarter and caught the attention of LeBron James. But it was the only drive that resulted in points for the Browns.

After that touchdown, the Browns punted the ball twice. Fannin later fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the 49ers. Browns punt returner Gage Larvadain also fumbled and the 49ers recovered. The Browns also turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter.
Sanders was asked about Stefanski’s aggressiveness in going for it on fourth down in his own territory.
“I want to say, first of all, it’s a rude question if I think it was a great decision by my coach,” Sanders said. “… I like being out there playing. So whatever comes, comes. We’re not going to be here and we’re never going to point the finger at any coach or do anything like that. That’s extremely disrespectful. That’s not even in my place.”

Sanders didn’t fumble. But he was 16 of 25 with 149 passing yards. San Francisco’s defense attacked him three times.
He regretted not being able to gather his teammates to return to the game.
“Even when I shoot my shot and miss, I have to keep shooting and bring everyone together. I know the offense and the team are counting on me to do my job and do what I have to do and I feel like I let them down today,” he added.
