Shedeur Sanders opened up about a tough lesson after Brown’s win against the Bengals, admitting he did not deliver his best performance and leaned on the defense to close the game. The quarterback later spoke with his mother, Pilar Sanders, and explained why talking to his parents, including Deion Sanders, does not help after a bad outing.
Shedeur Sanders on His Mom’s Reaction After the Bengals Win
After the win against the Bengals, Shedeur Sanders shared a light moment that showed how differently his parents handle tough games. While speaking with his mom Pilar, she tried to lift his spirits by telling him, “You did so good!” Shedeur Sanders quickly jumped in and shut it down, saying, “Alright, you gotta stop!” but Pilar stood her ground and repeated, “What? You did! You did!”
Shedeur laughed at the exchange and explained why those moments make it hard for him to talk after a game. “See that, see that’s why when things going on you can’t even talk,” he said, adding that “It’d be hard to even talk.” According to Shedeur Sanders, his mom is always the nice one, even when he knows he could have played better.
He also hinted that Deion Sanders would have reacted very differently, suggesting his dad would keep it real with no mercy, which made the whole moment even funnier.
Shedeur Sanders Explains Why He Avoids Talking to Deion After Games
Shedeur Sanders went on to explain why postgame talks with his dad are off limits, especially after a rough performance. According to the Colorado quarterback, Deion Sanders cannot help himself once the football talk starts. “Dad gonna do too much, so I definitely ooh, I don’t even want to talk,” Shedeur admitted, making it clear that those conversations turn into full coaching sessions.
Pilar tried to defend her husband, saying, “You know what? That’s so wrong,” but Shedeur doubled down. “He gonna be overly trying to coach you,” he said, explaining that once his dad gets going, there is no stopping him. “In the middle, I just got stuck,” Shedeur added, describing how those talks can feel overwhelming when emotions are still high.
He also pointed out that Shilo Sanders reacts differently, saying, “Shilo is good sometimes.” Still, when it comes to Deion, Shedeur prefers silence and film study instead.
And that is why postgame talks with Coach Prime are strictly off the table.
