Shedeur Sanders had the best performance of his young career against the Titans on Sunday.

Shedeur Sanders will get an extended opportunity to cement himself as the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback for 2026.

Sanders had the best performance of his young career on Sunday. He threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 29 rushing yards and a rushing score in a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

An early holiday gift has come for the Sanders family. More specifically, Shedeur Sanders’ excellent outing on Sunday has ended any potential remaining quarterback controversy in Cleveland.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that Sanders will be the Browns’ starting QB for the rest of the 2025 season.

Cleveland’s remaining four games are: at Chicago Bears, vs. Buffalo Bills, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and at Cincinnati Bengals. The next three opponents are all fighting for their playoff lives. So, we will see if Sanders and the Browns will embrace the spoiler role.

Shedeur Sanders Left The Browns With An Easy Choice

The Browns might have won on Sunday if Kevin Stefanski didn’t inexplicably remove Shedeur Sanders from the game-tying two-point conversion attempt. Drawing up a disastrous trick play with running back Quinshon Judkins instead was certainly a choice.

But the Browns at least have something to build off of Sunday. Sanders looked like a legitimate starting quarterback against the Titans and has provided a much-needed spark to this offense.

Joe Flacco couldn’t do it before he was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals. And fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel’s production left a lot to be desired. With Sanders behind center, the sluggish Cleveland offense has posted 24-plus points in two of his three starts.

If Sanders can finish the season on a high note, the Browns will likely avoid drafting one of the top quarterback prospects in 2026. Instead, they can use those first-round picks to rebuild the offense around Sanders.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
