Shedeur Sanders supports Deshaun Watson amid Browns' preseason struggles

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders defended Deshaun Watson after fans booed him during an August 22 preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Sanders expressed disapproval of the negative reception Watson received during his third-quarter appearance, which followed a disappointing performance. Watson completed just 5 of 12 passes for 35 yards and an interception, after previously acknowledging that he cannot control fan opinions. The Browns lost to the Bills 31-7, marking their second consecutive preseason defeat, while Sanders performed better statistically, throwing for 74 yards and one touchdown. They will face the New England Patriots on August 27 before the regular season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
