Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders politely corrected a reporter on Saturday’s match-up against the Buffalo Bills.
The game was delayed for over an hour due to bad weather. In an interview, a reporter asked Sanders, “Maybe you can talk to the weather gods for me.”
Sanders responded, “There’s only one God. That’s all I know. There’s only one God.”
With 13:30 left in the first quarter, the teams were called back to the locker room due to lightning in the area.
It’s easy for players to be thrown off their game when things like that happen. Their body cools down, muscles begin to stiffen again and the mind can play tricks. But that didn’t happen to Sanders because when he went back to the locker room, he just talked to God.

“Man, I’m telling you, right then I was just talking to God. I was talking to God. I’m like, He knows what I’m able to go out here and do,” he told the reporter. “I’m just a vessel…He just go[ing to] shine through me. So, throughout the days, throughout everything, we’re still able to put on the show.”
Last year, Sanders was the Browns’ third-string quarterback, which is not what he expected. However, he leaned on his faith and learned a valuable lesson.
“The greatest lesson I’ve learned through it all is not to worry but to lean on and trust GOD in every situation,” the athlete shared on X. “Even when I don’t know what to do, I’ve learned that GOD will always guide me.”
He emphasized that he can live “stress-free” because he knows God controls his story.
“Growing up, I had access to a lot, and maybe without my understanding shaped my worldview, but I’ve realized that peace, purpose, and faith can’t be bought,” he added. “They have to be built. True success is who you become while waiting on GOD’s timing. GOD’s pace protects what your purpose will one day require.”
The Browns ultimately lost the game 7-31 against the Bills, but Sanders played the entire first half and threw for 74 yards with one touchdown, the Browns reported. Sanders and the Browns are back in action tomorrow night against the New England Patriots for the final preseason game.
