The Cleveland Browns will start quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 10 against the Houston Texans after Shedeur Sanders' strong fill-in performance Sunday. Coach Todd Monken said he is still reviewing tape before finalizing the decision, noting that while Sanders battled and showed composure in the pocket, there is still much to build on. Sanders posted a 39 QBR against the Saints, leading Cleveland to a 13-9 lead late in the fourth quarter with long throws to rookie receivers Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion. The Browns entered the game at 5-3 before losing in overtime to the Saints after a failed 2-point conversion attempt. Sanders' two 60-yard throws doubled Watson's first-eight-game total, and Monken expressed pride in the player's performance but acknowledged the need for further development. The Browns plan to flush the game and meet offensively more extensively later.
