Over the past few weeks, Shedeur Sanders has more firmly placed himself in the conversation to become the franchise quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

The fifth-round rookie, who fell far below his projected first-round tag in April’s NFL Draft, earned Cleveland’s QB1 job in Week 12 and hasn’t relented it since — and in last week, he posted 364 passing yards and four total touchdowns, despite the Browns’ loss to the Titans.

With Sanders’ play only improving, head coach Kevin Stefanski has already ruled him the rest-of-season starter in Cleveland. Over the next few weeks, the former Colorado star will have a few opportunities to continue building his case to lead the Browns’ offense again in 2026, starting with a Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

The Sporting News is tracking Sanders’ performance against the Bears on Sunday, including his stats and highlights. Follow along with Sanders’ latest start below.

Shedeur Sanders live updates, highlights from Browns vs. Bears

All times ET.

3:34 p.m. — Sanders’ next drive: Incompletion, incompletion, sack. While he’s had a few nice deep passes today, the Browns QB hasn’t been able to lead multiple scoring drives.

End of third quarter: Bears 28, Browns 3

3:28 p.m. BEARS TOUCHDOWN — Chicago extends its lead, as Swift is back in the end zone with a run. 

3:10 p.m. — Sanders had another big play to Bond, this one for 47 yards, but things go south from there. He went to Jerry Jeudy in the end zone, but Jaylon Johnson rips it out of the receiver’s hands for another interception. 

3:19 p.m. BEARS TOUCHDOWN — Chicago somehow extends its lead on a wild touchdown pass from Williams to DJ Moore, following the Sanders interception. It’s 21-3 Bears.

3:10 p.m. — The Bears punted, but Sanders gives the ball right back. He’s picked off on a pass to Fannin, as the ball was tipped, then intercepted.

2:58 p.m. BROWNS FIELD GOAL — The Browns are finally on the board with a field goal after getting into Bears territory. It’s an 11-point game.

2:55 p.m. — Sanders opens his next drive with a 13-yard play to Harold Fannin Jr., barely getting the ball out before being taken down.

2:54 p.m. — Cleveland’s defense gets a nice fourth-down stop, sacking Caleb Williams to take possession. After the Bears’ hot start, the Browns are at least hanging in this one.

2:51 p.m. — Sanders can’t get any momentum through the air today. He has two more incompletions to open the second half, and once again, the Browns punt to the Bears.

Halftime: Bears 14, Browns 0

2:30 p.m. — Chicago can’t drive down the field before the break, and they’ll take a 14-0 lead into halftime. The Bears’ running game has been effective, while Sanders had one big play to Bond, but has otherwise struggled to keep Cleveland’s offense moving the chains.

2:20 p.m. — After the Bears couldn’t get the ball moving before halftime, Sanders had another shot to get on the scoreboard, but the Browns go three-and-out again. All three of his passes fell incomplete.

2:11 p.m. — Sanders is sacked on 3rd & 8 in Chicago territory, halting the Browns’ drive. Cleveland punts. The quarterback appeared to lose the ball on the play, but the officials rule him for forward progress.

2:07 p.m. — There’s Shedeur Sanders’ first big play. He unloads a long pass to Isaiah Bond, a 42-yard pickup as the Browns get moving.

2:05 p.m. — A Myles Garrett sack, his 21st of the season, leads to a missed Bears field goal. Can the Browns capitalize?

1:55 p.m. — The Browns punt for the third time as the second quarter gets going. The Bears can already make it a three-score game, as Cleveland has just 12 passing yards so far.

End of first quarter: Bears 14, Browns 0

1:48 p.m. — Sanders is taken down on 2nd & 8 to end the first quarter. Cleveland hasn’t been able to get anything going offensively so far, with the Bears in full control.

1:41 p.m. BEARS TOUCHDOWN — It’s now 14-0 Chicago, as Caleb Williams finds DJ Moore in the end zone. The Bears are seeking their 10th win of the season today.

1:32 p.m. BEARS TOUCHDOWN — The Bears took an early 7-0 advantage on a touchdown run from De’Andre Swift, and the Browns can’t quite move the chains on another drive. Sanders ran for nine yards on 3rd & 10, and Cleveland punts.

1:19 p.m. — With the cold temperatures, the Browns don’t pass the ball on their first drive, going three-and-out after a few Quinshon Judkins runs.

12:45 p.m. — Shedeur Sanders will be dealing with some cold temps today in Chicago.
