“Did you wear a thong or not? I didn't know if thongs were the next big thing. How do you feel playing a good game and everything gets shadowed by your thong?”

Shedeur made sure to clear the air with his brother saying, “Come on, bruh… You forgot I had a little back injury, right? So I get my back taped. But that is crazy that it did look like that. That’s funny, though.”
He’d later went on to say, “Yes, bro. There’s not no thong, bruh. That’s just weird.”
In his first three starts in Cleveland he has thrown for 722 yards, throwing five TDs an just two interceptions. Sanders won his first start against the Las Vegas Raiders but lost the last two against San Francisco and Tennessee. He’s got four more games to put himself in position to be the starter at the start of training camp next year. Next up, Shedeur and the Browns will head to Chicago to take on the red hot Bears.
