While Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders are not twin brothers, the siblings look alike enough to confuse NFL fans - especially when they dress up as the other.
On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game where Shedeur was moved up to QB2 on the Browns' depth chart.
Shilo, who went undrafted and was cut this summer from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, decided to travel to Pittsburgh to watch his brother play. But along the way, he pulled a little prank.
As captured on a video posted to his social media channels, Shilo arrived to Acrisure Stadium dressed up as his brother - complete with a Browns hat, a No. 12 Shedeur Sanders jersey, dark sunglasses, a watch, and a chain with a diamond pendant.
The look was convincing enough that he was able to fool many Browns and Steelers fans alike.
Many fans took selfies with Shilo, some asked for autographs, while others offered up words of encouragement to the person they thought was fighting for a starting job.
Shilo Sanders went to Sunday's Steelers-Browns game dressed up as his younger brother and Cleveland quarterback, Shedeur Sanders. He even signed autographs for fans after the game.
The real Shedeur didn't touch the field once again as the Browns fell to 1-5 on the season
One Browns fan went up to Shilo and asked him to sign his hat. The former Colorado safety asked, 'Do you know who I am?'
The fan confidently replied, 'You're Shedeur Sanders.' He continued, 'I wanted you to get a win, I've been waiting so long for [starting quarterback Dillon] Gabriel.'
Shilo played the part, replying, 'I don't know man, he's a good guy though.'
A woman Steelers fan then came up to the incognito Shilo and said, 'Steeler fans were cheering for you though. Seriously, we wanted to see you play man. We wanted you to play so bad.'
The woman continued: 'We were yelling, "Put in Sanders! Put in Sanders! Come on, coach, we want 12!"'
'Hey, everything happens for a reason, you know, I'm just thankful to God that I even have the opportunity to get on this field,' Shilo replied.
The real Shedeur didn't make an appearance as the Browns fell to the Steelers 23-9.
Gabriel completed 29-of-52 pass attempts for 221 yards and got sacked six times by the Pittsburgh defense.
Cleveland fell to 1-5 on the season with the defeat as the Browns stare at the likely possibility of missing the playoffs for the eighth time in the last ten seasons.
