Shedeur Sanders got hit with the Uno reverse card during his first start of the season on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback Sanders got the nod against the New Orleans Saints with Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol. In the end though, the Saints pulled out the 23-22 overtime victory at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La.

At one point in the fourth quarter, Sanders took a sack deep in his own territory. New Orleans defensive tackle Khristian Boyd got to Sanders for the sack and then began to do Sanders’ famous watch celebration.

Take a look at the video (which also featured fellow Saints DT Colby Wooden joining in on the fun).

In fairness to Sanders, he actually did very well for himself on Sunday otherwise. Sanders went 19/31 for 297 total passing yards and also added 28 rushing yards. On top of that, Sanders threw for two impressive TDs — a 64-yard deep ball to KC Concepcion during the third quarter and then a 39-yard strike to Harold Fannin Jr. during the overtime period.

But the Browns ultimately lost after Sanders failed to connect with Denzel Boston on a two-point attempt in overtime to potentially win the game. As such, the Saints players’ mockery of Sanders will go down as the lasting image of the contest (though it is not the first time that Sanders has been clowned with his own celebration before).
