QB Shedeur Sanders made his Browns debut against the Panthers, throwing for 138 yards and two passing touchdowns.
He played deep into the third quarter, playing 45 snaps, nearly reaching the 50-play mark that Stefanski had set for the Colorado product going into the game. Over the 10 drives Sanders played, the Browns ran a variety of plays to help him get settled into the offense and playing quarterback in the NFL.
"Certainly, for a quarterback, that next step is getting in the game settings and taking the practice field to the game, and I thought that's what we saw by and large from Shedeur (Sanders)," Stefanski said. "That's what we saw by and large from our offense was really taking those things that we're homing in on, on the practice field and then showing them in the games, and it goes back to the previous point where we want to vary our offense."
