CLEVELAND — As the Cleveland Browns prepare for their final two games of the season, quarterback Shedeur Sanders is not looking ahead to next year's possibilities. Instead, he's laser-focused on the present moment. Sanders emphasized the importance of living in the present, controlling what he can control, and delivering wins and clean football. He acknowledged that the team's future is uncertain, with many factors beyond his control. The Browns, who won their first game under Sanders but have since lost four consecutive matches, currently hold the third overall pick in next year's draft. However, Sanders is not concerned with next season's prospects, especially with two crucial games remaining. The Browns face a tough challenge ahead, with a Pittsburgh Steelers team that has excelled against rookie quarterbacks. In fact, the Steelers boast a 27-6 record against rookie QBs since Mike Tomlin took over as coach in 2007, the best record in the league in that span. To make matters more challenging, running back Quinshon Judkins will be sidelined for several months after undergoing surgery for a fractured right fibula and ankle dislocation. Judkins, a key component of the offense, was on pace to break the 1,000-yard mark from scrimmage. Shedeur Sanders will have to adapt to the new situation and lead the team against a formidable Pittsburgh defense. The Steelers can secure their first AFC North title since 2020 with a win on Sunday. In related news, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that quarterback Deshaun Watson will not be activated to the active roster, despite opening his 21-day practice window on December 3. Watson has been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of the season, recovering from a ruptured right Achilles tendon.
