Colorado’s head coach Deion Sanders made the trip to Las Vegas to witness his son, Shedeur Sanders, quarterbacking the Cleveland Browns in his debut against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Sanders greeted his son in a jubilant moment after the game, sharing insights about Shedeur’s performance that included 209 yards and a touchdown. “The check down was right there; when you get that right, it’s over,” Deion advised his son. “You did good, but you should watch the film and pinpoint where you can improve. I’m proud of you, holding it down for the family.”

Cleveland’s 24-10 triumph also caught the attention of Donald Trump, generating considerable social media buzz surrounding Shedeur’s impressive outing, highlighted by a 66-yard touchdown throw to fellow player Dylan Sampson.

During the game, Shedeur exhibited composure despite facing an interception early. “I think I displayed some commendable moments, but there are areas I would like to improve,” he explained in a post-game interview with CBS Sports.

Deion expressed his initial hesitation to overshadow his son’s game day, stating, “You don’t want to be his distraction, but you realize what it means for him to see you there before the game.”

Shedeur’s mother, Pilar, was also present, having co-parented with Deion through many milestones in their son’s career, including the NFL Draft earlier this year. After the game, Shedeur reflected, “Being able to see my family was important; I’m glad they were here to witness this moment.”

Both father and son cherished the occasion, lending insight into their close-knit relationship along with plans for further improvement in Shedeur’s career.
