Shedeur Sanders expertly converted two plays and bulldozed through the defense to give his team a well-deserved 43-35 victory. “All I was thinking of was Brady mode”, said the NFL Hall of Famer’s son. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James shared this on his Instagram story. Not only the NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer, but NFL GOAT Tom Brady also recognized Sanders’ brilliant performance.
