Shedeur Sanders is officially getting the starting nod for the Cleveland Browns on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, a massive moment for the quarterback as the coaching staff evaluates options for their Week 1 starter. After stepping in for Deshaun Watson during the preseason opener, this is Sanders’ shot to show he has the bonafides to lead.

“Just Another Day of Going to Work”

When asked about the pressure of this pivotal preseason game, Sanders flat out told reporters Wednesday he doesn’t feel any “pressure” or “anxiety” anymore. He’s approaching it like he does everything else, saying, “I’ll say every day of my life’s important. Every day’s important. I want to say it’s [not] a day that’s not important. So that’s just another day going out there doing what I got to do, honestly. I don’t really feel anxiety or any pressure going into things like that anymore, because that’s how I approach everything. So, it’s just another day of going to work. That’s all it is for me.” That’s quite a mindset, especially with so much on the line!

The Week 1 Starter Decision Looms Large

His performance with the “ones” against Buffalo isn’t just another game. The Browns coaching staff is watching closely, trying to figure out who gets the call for Week 1. This Saturday is his big chance to prove that “no pressure” attitude translates into top-tier play. Can he lock down that starting job? We’ll find out soon enough.
