Shedeur Sanders hugs Deshaun Watson after Browns beat Panthers

Backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders was among the first Browns teammates to hug and congratulate Deshaun Watson after Cleveland beat Carolina 21-18 in Week 3, earning its second straight win. A fan video captured the postgame moment.

Sanders is Watson’s backup; the article says he would play only if Watson were injured or the quarterback hierarchy changed. Watson had been booed by Browns fans during preseason, but Front Office Sports’ Ben Axelrod reported hearing “Let’s go Watson” in the stadium during the game.
