Since Dillon Gabriel was forced to sit out due to a concussion, Shedeur Sanders has taken command of the Cleveland Browns and is preparing to start his second game of the season. But ahead of the big matchup on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the Browns QB was recently trolled by his brother.
Shilo Sanders Mocks Shedeur for Working on Thanksgiving
The 49ers have been dominating this season, entering the game with an 8-4 record. Leading an offense against them won’t be easy, and Shedeur knows it well.
Because of the enormous responsibility on his shoulders, Shedeur has been working tirelessly, even on Thanksgiving, a holiday when he’s supposed to leave work behind and spend quality time with his family.
But his brother wasn’t going to let him get away with that quietly. In his YouTube video, when the 23-year-old QB was reading his playbook, Shilo hilariously trolled him, calling him a “good boy” for studying to impress Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.
“Look at him, studying his plays and what not before his big game,” Shilo said. “What a good boy, studying your plays so coach Stefanski don’t get mad. ‘Stefanksi, I even study my plays on Thanksgiving.'”
Anyone with siblings can relate. No matter the time or situation, siblings always find a way to roast you, and they’re naturally talented at rage-baiting.
The family seemed to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal together, and in between teasing Shedeur, Shilo also prayed for his brother’s success on Sunday against the Niners.
Sander’s Crew Set to Clash with 49ers
Sanders had to suddenly take over in Week 11 when Gabriel was injured during the game against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie appeared unprepared and delivered a subpar performance, ultimately leading the team to a 16-23 defeat.
The next week, he made his first NFL start and performed much better, helping the Browns secure an impressive 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With that victory, he also became the first Browns QB to win his first career start since Eric Zeier in 1995.
While the Niners have been playing exceptionally well this season, the same can’t be said for the Browns, whose offense has poorly struggled and currently ranks No. 32 on PFSN’s Offense Impact.
It will be interesting to see whether Sanders can lead his crew the way he did last week and pull off an upset against the 49ers on Sunday. The Browns have almost no postseason hopes as they seem well out of the playoff picture; however, they can still have some fun by defeating their upcoming opponents and decreasing their qualifying chances.
