CLEVELAND (AP) — Shedeur Sanders had a solid first half in his first home start for the Cleveland Browns. The rookie quarterback wasn't able to build on that momentum after halftime.

Sanders completed 16 of 25 passes for 149 yards with a touchdown in the Browns' 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game that Sanders would start next week against Tennessee.

“It doesn’t feel good at all to be here in front of y’all and not on top. But it comes with it," Sanders said.

Sanders was 8 of 11 for 96 yards in the first half, including a 34-yard touchdown pass to Harold Fannin Jr. that helped the Browns take an 8-7 lead late in the second quarter.

He was 8 of 14 for 53 yards in the second half. The Browns (3-9) gained 76 of their 253 yards aft
