What happened: Sanders completed a fourth-down pass to extend the possession. He threw the touchdown on third down to finish the drive without an incompletion.
Why it matters: The clean series marked a sharper follow-up to his 79-yard outing a week earlier. Each preseason possession carries evaluation weight in the quarterback competition.
By the numbers: Opening drive: 4 completions on 4 attempts, 1 touchdown and 1 fourth-down conversion.
What to watch: His remaining preseason snaps will test whether that efficiency holds beyond the opening possession.
