Shedeur Sanders is locked in as the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback for the rest of the regular season. The former Colorado standout will now face a stiff Week 15 test on the road against the Chicago Bears.
It’s set to be a Sanders family affair at Soldier Field, especially with Colorado football’s season recently coming to an end, and Shedeur’s oldest half-brother, Deion Sanders Jr., made a hilarious comment on the expected conditions for Sunday’s game.
Deion Sanders Jr. Gave a Viral Reaction to the Forecast for the Cleveland Browns’ Upcoming Game
Shedeur Sanders started the 2025 season as the third-string quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel. For weeks, it seemed the rookie QB would never get a chance to make his NFL debut this year, sparking speculation about friction between the 23-year-old and head coach Kevin Stefanski.
After Gabriel suffered an injury, Sanders got his first NFL start and has held onto the QB1 position for the past three contests. Now, the Browns will look to break a two-game losing streak in Chicago against a Bears’ team firmly in the playoff hunt.
The weather conditions for this matchup are projected to be adverse, to say the very least, prompting Deion Sanders Jr. to give a viral response on Sunday’s forecast.
“I don’t think my camera can function in these conditions…at all.”

But beyond the freezing forecast, the Browns are desperately searching for stability at the sport’s most important position, and the collapse of the Deshaun Watson gamble has only intensified that urgency. It’s why Cleveland doubled down in the 2025 NFL Draft and took two quarterbacks, hoping at least one would finally give them a reliable long-term answer.
So far, both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have had chances, but it was the fifth-round rookie who delivered the true spark. Sanders put together a historic outing against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, breaking multiple rookie quarterback marks in the Browns’ 31–29 loss and giving Cleveland a glimpse of the upside they’ve been missing for years.

Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns while also adding a rushing touchdown, becoming the first Browns quarterback since 1950 to post that stat line.
Now, as the starting quarterback for the rest of the regular season, Sanders has four more games on the slate for his 3-10 squad. The Browns might be out of the playoff hunt, but there’s plenty at stake down the stretch with the offense ranked dead last in the PFSN’s impact metrics.
Sanders has a chance to prove that he’s the quarterback this franchise has been looking for, and having another standout performance on Sunday will go a long way toward securing that long-term commitment.
