Shedeur Sanders Struggles with Three Interceptions in Bears Loss

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders faced significant challenges during a 31-3 loss to the Chicago Bears, throwing three second-half interceptions, which deepened scrutiny regarding his future as the team's starting quarterback.

Sanders completed 18 of 35 passes for 177 yards, with no touchdowns and a dismal 30.3 passer rating. The Bears capitalized on his mistakes, converting the turnovers into 17 points. Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Sanders would remain the starter for the upcoming game against the 10-4 Buffalo Bills, emphasizing that young quarterbacks often experience ups and downs.

Sanders, reflecting on his performance, acknowledged, 'We got a loss, so I didn’t do good.' He cited the Bears' effective defensive schemes, noting that he had to learn from the experience and expressed confidence in his abilities moving forward.

The offensive line's struggles were also a factor, as Sanders was sacked five times and pressured repeatedly, with only one original starter available due to injuries. Left guard Joel Bitonio was the only remaining starter, and the makeshift line hampered Sanders' performance significantly.

Sanders stated, 'You can’t focus on that. That’s an uncontrollable thing.' Meanwhile, the team now holds the fourth overall pick for the upcoming draft, raising concerns about their future strategy amidst a disappointing season resulting in a 3-11 record.
