Kyle Shanahan, 49ers Face Unique Challenge Against Browns and Shedeur Sanders

Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders, praised for limiting sacks and protecting the ball, earned comparisons to Baker Mayfield after leading the Browns to a win in his NFL debut.

  • On November 25, 2025, the Browns confirmed Shedeur Sanders will start his second NFL game against the San Francisco 49ers after helping Cleveland win in his first start.
  • After falling in the draft, Shedeur Sanders began the year inactive and low on the Cleveland Browns' quarterback depth chart, but team struggles and changes opened his starting opportunity.
  • In his first start, Shedeur Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception, including a 52-yard completion to Isaiah Bond, and was sacked once for minus three yards.
  • Coach Kevin Stefanski, Browns head coach, named rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders starter again despite Dillon Gabriel clearing concussion protocol; a win over the San Francisco 49ers would keep Sanders unbeaten and teammates vowed to sustain his energy.
  • NFL analyst Nick Wilson of 92.3 The Fan compared rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders to former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, noting similarities that could aid his success, though Sanders has two interceptions in six quarters against a San Francisco 49ers defense with four recent interceptions.
