On Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders will host the Cleveland Browns in an AFC Week 12 matchup between two struggling teams that have little chance of playing in the postseason.
The Raiders (2-8) have lost four straight games and eight of their last nine overall. They have a lot of offensive issues, and quarterback Geno Smith doesn't seem to be able to have much of an effect in his debut season in Las Vegas.
The Browns (2-8) have also had their share of struggles this season, particularly at quarterback. Veteran Joe Flacco was the team's starting quarterback at the beginning of the season, but he was benched and subsequently traded when Dillon Gabriel took over.

In Week 12, Cleveland will start a third different quarterback this season when Shedeur Sanders takes the field at Allegiant Stadium. The fifth-round rookie, who had a highly publicized draft fall in April, is expected to be the center of attention as he gets his first real opportunity in the NFL.

How to watch the Raiders vs. Browns Week 12 game? TV schedule and live stream details
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will start a football game on Sunday for the first time since he captivated fans with his stellar performance at Colorado in college.
The 23-year-old quarterback made his first appearance in the NFL last week when he came on for the concussed Dillon Gabriel at halftime in the game against the Baltimore Ravens. However, his performance was subpar, completing only four of his 16 throws for 47 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception.
Fans expect a much more polished performance from Sanders on Sunday as he has had a full week to prepare for the Browns' next game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Interested in seeing how Sanders performs in his first NFL start? Below is a breakdown of how to watch the Browns vs. Raiders game live:
Date and Time: Sunday, Nov. 23, at 4:05 p.m. ET
Location: Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, Nevada
TV: CBS
