Brotherly love takes no days off, especially for Colorado’s Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.
In a video shot by their older brother Deion Sanders Jr. and posted to X on Sunday, Shedeur and Shilo are heard going back and forth over who’s a “dirty player.”
Shilo retorted his brother, Colorado’s quarterback, was “dirty” for calling a pass play on their final drive in Thursday’s dramatic 31-26 win over FCS North Dakota State.
The Buffaloes had a five-point lead with less than two minutes to play and should’ve run the ball to drain the clock.
Instead, Shedeur threw four passes, two of them incomplete, which stopped the clock and gave North Dakota State the ball back for an attempt at a game-winning score.
Shedeur fired back at Shilo, who plays on defense, that he and the rest of the secondary shouldn’t have allowed the Bison to catch a Hail Mary pass to Colorado’s four-yard line as time expired. He admitted it was impressive North Dakota State was able to drive down the field with only 30 seconds to play.
While the two brothers were light-hearted about the episode, their father, head coach Deion Sanders, was slightly more critical of Shedeur’s decision-making at the end of the game.
“Shedeur is such a good kid; sometimes it costs him, because at the end of the game, we just want to run the ball (and) let’s get out of here,” Deion Sanders said in his postgame press conference Thursday. “I’m like, ‘Dawg. C’mon dawg. Not right now… It’s time to… put this game away.”
The Sanders family has begun preparations for Colorado’s next opponent, Nebraska, which it will face on Sept. 7. in Lincoln.
