Summary
Monday looms for Cleveland's quarterback call after Shedeur Sanders paired brief social posts with a public defense of Deshaun Watson, saying the boos were disrespectful despite their competition.
9-of-11 passing for 74 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Buffalo strengthened Sanders' case; Watson went 5 of 12 for 36 yards with an interception in the same 31-7 preseason loss.
Todd Monken said Watson's emotional postgame comments would not sway the choice, defending the quarterback's reaction after his first home appearance since two Achilles surgeries.
68% odds on Kalshi still make Watson the favorite for Week 1, and if he wins the job his next home game would not come until Sept. 27 after two road openers.
