Early in the game, Carolina gifted Cleveland prime field position after a muffed punt deep in their territory. Starting at the Panthers’ 10-yard line, Sanders calmly took charge, and just a few plays later, he threw the first official touchdown pass of his NFL career.

“I love seeing all the haters in the comments down bad,” another commented, seeing the clip and the barrage of comments.
