Cleveland Browns
Accuracy & Good Ball Placement
Dillon Gabriel has struggled with accuracy issues and missed open receivers this season, so the team is looking to Shedeur Sanders for an upgrade in the passing game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Accuracy was actually one of Sanders’ strengths in college, so it will be good to see if his skill set can translate to the NFL.
Confidence & Good Decision Making
There is certainly a lot of pressure on Sanders going into this game. Both his supporters and critics have had a lot of opinions on him this season, so all...

As everyone saw, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his official NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders started in the second half after rookie Dillon Gabriel left the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Sanders began to warm up, and he was met with a rousing reaction from the Cleveland faithful. In terms of his performance, it wasn’t great.
However, expecting Sanders to light up an improving, creative and flexible Ravens defense was never going to be the case. A lot of negatives, but growth is possible heading into Week 12 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. However,...

The Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders went through their week of practice with very different injury situations. The Browns had a long list of players to start the week, while the Raiders just had one. Cleveland added WR Jamari Thrash to their list on Thursday, but the Raiders addition of DE Maxx Crosby was the big storyline on Thursday.
Going into Friday, besides Crosby, the status of TE David Njoku was a priority. The hulking tight end wasn’t able to participate in the first two practices of the week.
Friday’s final injury report had good news for both teams,...

The Cleveland Browns are in Sin City on Sunday to face the Las Vegas Raiders.
Both teams are in a hot battle with the Tennessee Titans and three other two-win teams for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, so this could be a game where the winner may not be as excited as the loser.
Draft order can wait, however, as the game marks the debut of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who will get the start after a fierce week of work with the first-team offense. [It is a shame that the game is not being shown...

The Cleveland Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. It’s the first career start for Shedeur Sanders, so this is either going to be wondrous or a complete turkey.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 12 game between the Browns and Raiders:
This will be Shedeur Sanders making his first start for the Browns. The good news is he’s facing a Raiders team that struggles against the pass. The Raiders offense has issues protecting Geno Smith as well, which could be setting...

The Cleveland Browns head into Week 12 of the 2025 NFL regular season with yet another major change. So far this season, the Browns have started QB Joe Flacco for four games before turning to QB Dillon Gabriel. Now, due to Gabriel’s injury, QB Shedeur Sanders will take the helm and try to do something that hasn’t been done in 30 years, despite a report that HC Kevin Stefanski did not plan to play him at all this year.
Oh yeah, and Cleveland switched offensive playcallers during their Week 9 bye.
A lot of changes.

The Cleveland Browns clearly need a quarterback, but assuming the team will find one in the 2026 NFL draft depends on so many different variables, including which ones declare for this year’s selection process. Quarterback is not the be-all end-all of a successful NFL team, but a vital one for sure.
The Browns probably should have prioritized other positions in the 2025 NFL draft after passing early in the process.
Cleveland is currently slotted with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft order, as well as the 20th pick being sent over from the Jacksonville Jaguars. [NFL mock...

Everyone absolutely knows that an NFL team needs a quality quarterback to be a really good team for more than a year or two. The Cleveland Browns have not had that, with the closest thing being QB Baker Mayfield, but his injury limited the longevity of that timeframe before the ill-fated QB Deshaun Watson trade.
At this point, as much as possible, Browns fans should be focusing on what the future holds. Whether that future includes GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski is yet to be seen, but hopefully, that future includes a young franchise-level QB.

Back in April at the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns owned the first pick in the second round, which happened to be their own.

The Browns, New York Football Giants, and the Tennessee Titans all finished with 3-14-0 records, and through a series of tie-breakers, the Titans would pick first, followed by the Browns, and then the Giants in Round 1. In the second round, the Browns and Giants would slide up one slot with the Titans falling to the third position. Then, for the third round, New York and Tennessee would go up...

The first injury report of Week 12’s matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders was very divergent, with the visitors listing a ton of players, including some resting, and the home team having just one, a backup defensive tackle. As the Browns coordinators said all the right things about this week’s matchup and starting QB Shedeur Sanders, health became a bigger issue for both teams, especially the Raiders.
DE Alex Wright getting a contract extension was the big news on Thursday. A number of other players on Cleveland’s roster are set to hit free agency, but GM Andrew...
