The first week of preseason football is in the books!
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was impressive in his NFL preseason debut, throwing for 138 yards and two touchdowns in Cleveland’s 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. New York’s Jaxson Dart also looked sharp, completing 12 of 19 passes with a touchdown and adding 24 rushing yards.
It was a big week for backup QBs too, as Minnesota’s Sam Howell, Rams’ signal caller Stetson Bennnet IV, and Pittsburgh’s Skylar Thompson all led their teams to victory.
