Pilar Sanders didn’t hold back during the Browns’ trip to Tennessee, and her reaction said everything about how the afternoon was unfolding for Cleveland’s offense. She watched her son, Shedeur Sanders, carry the Browns with confident throwing, clean reads, and two early touchdowns.
Yet the coaching staff drifted away from what was working and leaned on a wildcat call that immediately derailed the drive. From her seat in the stadium, Pilar snapped in frustration, calling out the decision as soon as the play fell apart.
Cleveland quickly abandoned the experiment, returned to its standard formation, and the difference was instant. Sanders marched the offense downfield again, turning structure into production the moment the ball stayed in his hands.
“You know, this f**kin wildcat is bullsh*t,” Pilar SAID in her first video.

Pilar jumped back in moments later with another video, pointing out how the offense came alive without the wildcat. Her commentary echoed what Browns fans were already grumbling about, trust the quarterback, not the gimmicks.
“See what happens when you don’t do wildcat. Touchdown,” Pilar SAID.

By the fourth quarter, the game had turned into a frantic chase. The Browns had clawed back to make it 23–31, still trailing but showing fight with just over four minutes remaining. Sanders crossed 300 passing yards in the process, hitting 17-of-35 for 301 yards, two touchdowns, and a single interception.
The Browns needed every bit of that yardage to keep the game alive. His first-half work set the tone. His crisp red-zone toss to David Njoku and a 60-yard rope to Jerry Jeudy that split the middle of the defense.
The second half forced him into heavier volume, and even as the pocket collapsed around him, he kept Cleveland within reach. Cleveland’s offense was at its best when Sanders dictated tempo. When they handed the ball directly to a running back instead of their quarterback, everything stalled.
Kendrick Perkins Heaped Praise On Shedeur Sanders
This wasn’t the first time someone prominent had spotlighted Sanders’ growing influence. But Kendrick Perkins offered praise that Sanders likely hadn’t heard before. He praised him heavily after his first start against the Raiders, framing Sanders as more than a promising rookie.
Perkins argued that Sanders has become a unifying figure, someone whose presence is pulling people together around the league and beyond. He emphasized that Sanders’ charisma and early success have elevated him into rare territory.
He claimed that the Browns QB was not just a rising quarterback, but one of the most impactful young figures in sports right now.
“You got the black community. He’s bringing the whole black community together,” Perkins said. “He’s having fun with this. He’s the most powerful black man in sports. As a matter of fact, he’s the most powerful player in sports.”

Perkins compared him to former President Barack Obama, stating that no one since Obama became president has had the kind of hold on the community.
