Sanders, the son of Hall of Famer and Colorado coach Deion Sanders, became the first Browns quarterback to win his first career start since 1999, when the franchise returned to Cleveland.<\/p>\n
The performance was punctuated by the TD pass, which saw Sanders throw a short pass to running back Dylan Sampson for a 66-yard score midway through the fourth quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking on, grinning from ear to ear, was Deion Sanders, who made the trip to Las Vegas to see his son get his first NFL start<\/p>\n
The moment surely felt vindicating for Sanders and those around him after all the ups and downs it took to get to that moment on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
