The Cleveland Browns faced another rival just as bad as they were, or perhaps even worse at that moment, the Tennessee Titans, who ultimately managed to take the win when Cleveland attempted to tie the game with a two-point conversion.
Shedeur Sanders delivered a standout performance within reason, and in this game he achieved something he likely never planned for, but as the minutes and plays unfolded, the opportunity arose until he secured the record that had previously been held only by Aaron Rodgers.
Shedeur Sanders shares a deeply spiritual moment with Jerry Jeudy
The Browns held the lead in the first half. Sanders was 9 of 14 passes for 180 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, and on the ground, he had accumulated 22 yards up to that point, and other touchdown.
Strong numbers and a partial lead, but everything changed in the second half. Yet before reaching halftime, Sanders connected with receiver Jerry Jeudy on a spectacular 60-yard play that ended in a touchdown.
A pass filled with history for Shedeur Sanders
With this throw launched by the young quarterback, Shedeur Sanders to Jerry Jeudy made NFL history because only Aaron Rodgers and he have accomplished it. And the record states that only they are the quarterbacks to throw four passes of 50 yards or more in a single game.
The now Pittsburgh Steelers player completed the feat in the year 2000; twenty-five years have passed since that achievement, which has now been matched by Sanders.
Shedeur Sanders joined Aaron Rodgers as the only QBs since 2000 with 4 completions of 50+ yards in their first 3 career starts.

Shedeur Sanders has created what Dillon Gabriel never could
This record that Shedeur achieved today demonstrates that despite the risks involved in going deep, Sanders takes those risks, something his previous teammate and former starter Dillon Gabriel never wanted to do.
Gabriel was very conservative, and now things have changed for the Browns with a young quarterback who believes in himself and his abilities, giving them more opportunities to secure wins.
Entering this Week 14 which is about to close, Cleveland ranked 30th in deep passes of more than 20 yards, with 23. With this game against the Titans, Sanders proved he can handle the challenge, and it is only a matter of giving him the necessary confidence. Perhaps tomorrow, Kevin Stefanski will confirm him for the next game, although not necessarily for the entire season.
In the matchup against Tennessee, he showed he can produce a consistent game and has the potential to deliver multiple touchdowns in a single outing. In this latest contest, he recorded four.
The next matchup for the Browns, corresponding to Week 15, will be against the Chicago Bears, who remain in the NFC race and in the fight within the North division to secure a postseason berth.
