Browns' Shedeur Sanders Promises to Be Better After Failed Two-Point Try

The Cleveland Browns now hold a record of 5-4 on the season, following a tough loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Cleveland and New Orleans saw a low-scoring game take place until the fourth quarter, when the offenses both woke up. The game went into overtime, with the Saints grabbing the victory at home.

The Browns almost stole the game from the Saints, with the team marching down the field for a late touchdown in overtime. Cleveland elected to go for a two-point conversion to win the game, rather than likely ending in a tie.

However, the attempt failed, sending the Browns to a tough loss despite the valiant effort by the group. Cleveland just couldn't make the big play, and in the end, New Leans was able to hold on for the win.

After the game was over, Sanders discussed the two-point conversation, with the quarterback saying he would learn from the situation. Sanders said he would be better going forward, taking everything to heart to have better preparation if he's ever in the same spot again.

"Yeah, but all that's on me because I scrambled on that," Sanders said. "... I'd say to even be able to get in that position was amazing and I was truly thankful to get to that point. And the moment never felt big. It always felt the same for me, so that's how I know I'm growing as a person and growing as a quarterback in this league. Yeah, so next time we get in that situation, I will have a better plan on what to do."

For the Browns, seeing Sanders take accountability for the play has to be nice, with the second-year starter showing growth. Cleveland has been high on Sanders since they drafted him, but the team hasn't fully given him a chance to be the starter.

Against the Saints, Sanders provided the team with a more dynamic passing attack, helping the offense get more life. However, it seems that Watson may remain the starter if he is healthy for next week.

But Cleveland should resist this urge, keeping Sanders in as the team's starter for the foreseeable future. Sanders helped the team against the Saints, even with the loss, and he deserves at least another shot to start.

Sanders finished the game throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns, with the offense looking much smoother with him in charge. Having an elusive quarterback like Sanders offers a different type of offense for the Brown to use, and the team may as well give him a chance to show what he can do.

Cleveland still has a chance to make the playoffs this year, even with the two-game losing streak, and Sanders gives them a better chance to win. Watson has served the team well this year, but it's time for the Browns to look ahead to the future.

Sanders could be the franchise guy for the Browns, but Cleveland has to give him a large enough sample size. The Browns haven't officially announced anything for next week against the Houston Texans, but that should all clear up later over the next few days.
