Cleveland Browns<\/a> head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his third consecutive start next Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, doubling down on the 144th overall pick despite a lopsided 26-8 homes loss to the San Francisco 49ers. <\/p>

The defeat dropped Cleveland to 3-9, marking their fourth losing season in six years under Stefanski and extending their league-worst streak of 23 losing campaigns since 1999.<\/p>

Shedeur Sanders Performance Against the 49ers<\/h2>

In his first home start, Sanders went 16-25 for 149 yards and a touchdown, showing poise but faltering in key moments. He connected with rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. on a 34-yard scoring strike late in the second quarter, briefly putting the Browns ahead 8-7 after a 2-point conversion by running back Quinshon Judkins. But momentum evaporated as Cleveland <\/a>managed zero points in the second half and botched two fourth-and-shot attempts, including a disastrous snap mishandle by Fannin on Fourth-and-1 from their own 33-yard line with the score 10-8. That turnover led to a Brock Purdy touchdown run, ballooning the lead to two scores. <\/p>
