Shilo Sanders impressed her mother, Pilar Sanders, in Colorado's road win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Coach Prime's ex-wife has been continuously hyping up her son since Sunday, as Headache Gang CEO had his game of the season.
Pilar posted on Instagram, replaying the Colorado safety's hardcore tackle on Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita. She captioned the post:
"just so we know we all saw this…"
Trending
Yesterday, Pilar uploaded the same video on her social media and captioned it:
"Just in case you missed some of the highlights…. GO..."
And if that wasn't enough, she jumped on Shilo's corner to defend her son when an IG user commented on the video, calling the 24-year-old's tackle on Fifita "targeting."
"plz get a football manual," Pilar commented.
With tough matchups against Cincinnati, Texas Tech, and Utah ahead, Shilo’s return to form will help Colorado push for a strong finish to the season.
Coach Prime impressed with Shilo Sanders' improvement in 7 days
After a tough loss to then No. 18 Kansas State in week 7, Deion Sanders was one of the harshest critics of his son Shilo’s performance.
"I thought he played horrible. I thought he was rusty. I thought he didn’t have his footing. I thought he wasn’t breaking down," said Sanders post-game.
While his tackles decreased from seven in the Kansas State game to three against Arizona, Shilo and the Buff’s defense were important in Colorado’s 34-7 win over Arizona. He also had one pass defended.
The Buffaloes bounced back in style, improving to 5-2, and Shilo’s redemption was complete. Following the important win regarding playoff contentions, Coach Prime expressed his pride in Shilo’s quick turnaround on Instagram.
"WOW. what a difference a week makes! 1 minute you’re the topic of ridicule because it’s your 1st time in your career that u showed vulnerability in your game but a week later you’re back to the PHYSICAL AGGRESSIVE DAWG that we all know," Sanders said.
The Kansas State loss was a bitter pill, but Shilo Sanders’ return to form helped stabilize a defense that had struggled lately.
