There will be no more quarterback moves for the Cleveland Browns for the remainder of the 2025 season, as Shedeur Sanders will remain the team’s starter for the next four games.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that he has seen Sanders “steadily and consistently improve in each of these games” as he started the last three games after fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.
“He’s been working very hard. I feel good about where his development is going,” Stefanski said of Sanders. “He knows there’s always going to be plays where he could be better and that kind of stuff, but he intends to get better each and every game he plays.”

Sanders became the first Browns quarterback to win his first start in the league after helping defeat the Las Vegas Raiders for Cleveland’s third victory of the season.
And although Sanders completed a season-high 64% of his passes against the San Francisco 49ers in his first home start, the Browns couldn’t see the same victory on their record at the end of that contest.

Sanders made his third straight start Sunday in sloppy conditions in Cleveland against a lowly Tennessee Titans team that beat them, 31-29, to capture just their second win of the year.
During the game, Stefanski drew the ire of Sanders fans when the quarterback was out of bounds for a two-point conversion attempt despite throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Stefanski instead attempted to run a wild play with rookie running back Quinshon Judkins leading the way. The play ultimately didn’t work out and fans wondered what would have happened if Sanders had been in the game.

“The Browns consistently take out Shedeur in scoring situations and wild situations need to be studied,” Shannon Sharpe wrote in X. “He’s in the SL. That’s nonsense.”
Skip Bayless even called for Stefanski’s dismissal after seeing what happened at the end of the game.
“SHEDEUR TO FANNIN FOR THE CLUTCH TD – THEN STEFANSKI TAKES OUT SHEDEUR FOR THE WILDCAT – DISASTER. STEFANSKI MISSED ANOTHER PLAY. I JUST COULD NOT STAND TO WATCH SHEDEUR TIE THE GAME WITH A 2-POINT CONVERSION AFTER A GREAT TD DRIVE SO LONG. GOODBYE TO STEFANSKI!”
Sanders was impressive despite the losing result, going 23 of 42 for 364 yards with three touchdowns and the first rushing score of his career.
