Rex Ryan tore into Shedeur Sanders on ESPN following the rookie’s regular-season NFL debut on Sunday.

The fifth-round pick got onto an NFL field for competitive action in Week 11, having spent his entire time with the Cleveland Browns behind Dillon Gabriel, either as a third-string or second-string quarterback.

He replaced Gabriel in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, with the Browns up 16-10, but could not maintain the momentum and saw them off to a 23-16 loss.

The former Colorado star did not give a great account of himself, throwing for 47 yards and an interception on 4-of-16 passing. He also coughed up a fumble on a sack, though it did not lead to a turnover.

A clearly dejected Shedeur was shown sitting by himself on the Browns bench after the defeat, something which appeared to irk the ESPN analyst.

Having previously crtiticized the rookie QB and drawn a reaction from his mom, the former NFL head coach went on another Shedeur-fueled rant during ‘Get Up’ on Monday morning.

“He’s there by himself on the bench. I’ve never seen that,” Ryan declared. “I’ve seen it in the seventh game of the World Series when you lose the game or whatever. This is a game that’s a pillow-fight game. Nobody cares. Did he care, or are you trying to make it a show and make it about yourself?”

Ryan also suggested that Sanders should have shared a moment with Lamar Jackson instead of staying on the bench and behaving as if his debut loss was the end of the world.

“You’ve got a guy over there that, by the way, is a two-time MVP in Lamar Jackson. He was looking for you. He was looking for you right there,” Ryan added. “Share a moment with him, alright? Share a moment with Lamar. He’s looking all over for you. Then get in there with your teammates. These are your teammates. Talk about, ‘I’m not comfortable losing.’ You think anybody in that locker room is? They better not be.”

Of course, Browns fans don’t feel like the game was meaningless. The defeat condemned them to a 2-8 record while Shedeur, clearly a favorite in Cleveland, was unable to lead the team to a win in a game they were leading.

Meanwhile, head coach Kevin Stefanski has revealed that Gabriel will remain the starter, though Sanders will start if the third-round pick does not clear concussion protocol in time to play the Las Vegas Raiders next Sunday.

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.
