Sanders is a break glass move. They aren't ready for that just yet. Plus, when they do put sanders at starting qb, it'll be a whole "narrative" if they move on from him after.

Browns played the packers, lions, and now Vikings in a row. Seems like every teams schedule is set up to play one division multiple games in a row. Don’t know if it’s always been like this but I’m noticing it. The lions played the ravens, then browns and now we play the bengals this week.

Man, I sure wouldn't want to have to go to London right now. Prayers to the players and the people of the UK.
