Shedeur Sanders addresses undergarment rumors after viral moment in Browns' loss: 'It did look like that'

"Come on, bro. You forgot I have a back injury, right? So I got my back taped," Sanders remarked. "But that is crazy that it did look like that. That's funny though." 

Shilo noted that he never believed the social media rumors, which Sanders laughed off, adding, "That's weird." 

Despite the viral rumors, Sanders recorded his best game so far this season with a 364-yard performance that included three touchdowns and another score on the ground. His passing yards marked the second-most by a rookie quarterback picked 144th overall or later since 1966.

"He fought throughout the game, which we knew he would," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "With any young player, there's going to be ups and downs, and I thought there were some really, really, really good moments. He'll keep learning from some of the plays that he wants back, but some really good moments."
