The Cleveland Browns landed a huge blow to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff hopes after a 13-6 win. 

However, despite a win, it looked like the NFL great Deion Sanders wasn’t satisfied with his son, Shedeur Sanders’ performance against the Steelers. 

This was the rookie QB’s seventh start for the Browns, and he scored a touchdown for 186 passing yards. He also showed some spark on the ground, rushing for 20 yards in 4 carries. However, the 23-year-old was also sacked twice and conceded 2 interceptions, of which his father wasn’t happy about. 

His first interception came in the 2nd quarter, when he tried to throw a pass intended for Salvatore Cannella. In the 6th play, the pass was intercepted by Jack Sawyer. However, the Steelers couldn’t take advantage of that opportunity, thanks to Cleveland’s resolute defense. 

Although the second interception also didn’t cost the Browns, Deion’s reaction grabbed all the attention. After Shedeur’s throw to Jerry Jeudy was intercepted by Kyle Dugger in the 2nd play of the third quarter, Dieon hid his face with his hat in frustration. In the end, Cleveland defeated Pittsburgh with a score of 13-6. 

This was Shedeur’s second win for the Browns as a starting QB. With Stefanski already announcing that he would start the last game as well, the 23-year-old will try not to repeat the same mistakes. It will be intriguing to see whether Stefanski and Shedeur work together and end another disappointing season on a high note. 

Shedeur Sanders wasn’t satisfied with the win 

Although the Cleveland Browns registered their fourth victory of the season, Shedeur Sanders wanted more from it. 

During the press conference, he was asked about his honest opinion on the win. He said, “It felt good, getting the win overall and especially the team we won against. I think it’s bittersweet cuz I feel like offense, we got to do our part. I gotta do my part. You know, we can’t be happy with only 13 points.” 

The 23-year-old felt they could’ve scored more points in the offense, and he could’ve done better. Cleveland managed only 1 touchdown and two field goals from Andre Szymt. Fortunately for them, it was enough to stop the Steelers, thanks to a defensive masterclass.

Other good offensive performances include star receiver Harold Fannin Jr., who scored a receiving touchdown for 30 yards. Dylan Sampson and Raheem Sanders both rushed for 20+ yards. Will the Browns win their last game against the Bengals, who will come off an incredible 37-14 win against the Cardinals? Let us know in the comments!
