Browns' Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Presents Challenges for Bears.
Dennis Allen, the defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, has stated that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders poses significant challenges for his team. The Browns have been working on their downfield passing game, connecting with Sanders more frequently in recent weeks.
Sanders will be making his fourth NFL start against the Bears this Sunday. In a previous game, he became the fourth player in NFL history to throw for at least 350 yards and two touchdowns while also running for a score in one of his first three career starts.
Allen praised the Browns' screen game, stating it has been outstanding this season. Sanders is known for his calm demeanor when holding the ball, which could pose challenges for the Bears' defense.
"We had some explosive plays that we can't allow to happen," Allen said. "So that is one thing as far as on the backend we got to tighten up with just the execution of different coverages, making sure we are on top of that."
The Bears have been successful in intercepting passes this season, leading the league with 18 interceptions and ranking third with nine fumble recoveries.
Meanwhile, running back Kyle Monangai won't be wearing long sleeves against the Browns due to personal preference. "No matter how cold it gets," he said, "I've never been a sleeves guy."

! I mean, 350 yards and 2 touchdowns while running for one? That's just wild 
! And the Browns are finally using him to their advantage - more downfield passing game action, yeah! 
It's gonna be tough for the Bears' defense to handle him. They've been doing great with intercepts this season but Sanders' calm vibes might give them some trouble 
. Can't wait for Sunday's game though, it's gonna be a wild ride! 
... I mean, Sanders is only in his 4th game and already making headlines for good reasons. The Bears think they can just shut him down with some tweaks to their coverage? Please 
... the kid's got skills, he's calm under pressure, and he can make plays outside of the pocket. And don't even get me started on that screen game - if it's been "outstanding" this season, I'm guessing it's because they've been getting lucky with the ball bouncing right to their receivers 
. Sanders' calm vibes when holding the ball are actually kinda intimidating, tbh 
. The Bears' defense is like, "Uh oh, we need to tighten up our game" 
. And can we talk about Kyle Monangai's confidence? guy's got swag 
, sleeve or no sleeve! 
! The Bears are so hyped for this one and I think they're in trouble 
. And those screens the Browns are using? 
They're like a whole different level of cool. I'm hoping the Bears can tighten up their coverage or they'll be in for a world of hurt 
. Can't wait to see it all go down this Sunday! 
As for Shedeur Sanders and the Bears, I think its gonna be an intense game this Sunday. The Browns' screen game has been fire 
this season, so the Bears need to step up their game on that end. But Sanders' calm vibes when holding the ball could give them some trouble. Hopefully, the Bears can tighten up their coverage and not let those explosive plays happen 
.
I think the Bears' defense needs to find a balance between being physical and anticipating Sanders' calm vibes when holding the ball. On one hand, they've had success with interceptions this season, so maybe they can use that to their advantage. 
But if Sanders starts getting comfortable and makes some of those big plays, it could be tough for them to keep up. 
Meanwhile, I kinda feel bad for Kyle Monangai being the odd one out in that sleeve situation... but hey, more skin = less sweating, right? 
. The way he can stretch the field with his passes and also make something happen on the ground is a nightmare to defend against. Allen's right to be concerned about those explosive plays - they gotta step up their game if they wanna slow down Sanders
