Shedeur Sanders’s opportunity to make a closing argument for the starting job in Cleveland has been delayed.
Four snaps into the Bills-Browns preseason contest, with the Buffalo offense on the field, lightning in the area stopped the action.
As of this posting, the game has not yet resumed.
Deshaun Watson started the Week 1 preseason game, with the benefit of the rest of the starters. Sanders will have only left tackle Spencer Fano and receiver Denzel Boston.
Watson is expected to play in the third quarter. If that plan suddenly changes, it will be the clearest sign yet that Watson has won the Week 1 starting job.
