At least one unnamed NFL executive later said that Shedeur Sanders' confidence "doesn’t turn me off at all." Retired linebacker and former All-Pro Shawne Merriman echoed that executive's sentiment.

The Cleveland Browns beat the Las Vegas Raiders by a score of 24-10 with rookie fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders making his first start at quarterback in the NFL and, as expected, all the sports talk that wasn’t already focused on the passer zeroed in on him.

NFL legend Lawrence Taylor spoke out and didn't hold back about Cleveland Browns superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett.

The Cleveland Browns beat the Las Vegas Raiders 24-10 Sunday evening in a game that saw the two teams combine for 34 points. The Browns had a chance to add a field goal late as they had the ball at the Raiders’ 29-yard line, with a chance to make the score 27-10 in the final minutes.

Rock bottom?: “But Sunday, they truly may have reached a new low as they were completely outplayed by the Cleveland Browns in a battle of 2-8 teams in a 24-10 loss, and it was never really close, and the Raiders were beaten by double digits once again,” S&BP’s Bill Williamson wrote.

In his first career NFL start, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 209 yards along with a touchdown and interception each. Cleveland recorded 10 sacks, the most in a game by any team over the past two seasons. Defensive end Myles Garrett accounted for three sacks himself, pushing him to 18 on the season.
