Shedeur Sanders had a highly efficient game against Cincinnati in a win on Saturday night, completing 83.3% of his throws for 323 yards and two scores with no interceptions.

He has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the country, excelling on third down, against the blitz, and in fourth-quarter efficiency. One stat that stands out: Sanders is third among Power Four quarterbacks this year on passes of 20 yards or more, with nine touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 95.5 grade, according to PFF.
