“Oh my God, read it and beat 12! Go on!” the Los Angeles Lakers star wrote to X.
It was Sanders’ second goal of the season. He was making his second career start after being named QB1 behind Dillon Gabriel, who cleared the concussion protocol earlier in the week. He won last week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cleveland didn’t have a great season despite Myles Garrett putting together a career year with sack totals. Sanders is the third quarterback Cleveland has used this season after starting the 2025 season with Joe Flacco.
The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of the draft, and Sanders had to work hard to move up the depth chart after starting the year at QB3.
Despite all the noise and rumors surrounding him, Sanders said earlier in the week that he was only focused on the 49ers.

“What people do outside the building is actually out of my control. It’s not in my power. I can’t go up there and tell them to do everything,” Sanders said. “Coach Stefanski has been coaching since I got here and we’re doing a great job with everything that’s going on. He tells me what to do on and off the field. We’ve definitely grown, our relationship and everything has improved.”
