Overview

  • Cleveland fell 34-10 to the Lions, with Joe Flacco going 16-of-34 for 184 yards, two interceptions and a lost fumble before rookie Dillon Gabriel entered late and threw one incompletion.
  • Asked postgame about a switch under center, Stefanski said a quarterback change is not the team’s focus and that the Browns did not do enough on offense.
  • Shedeur Sanders was designated inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Week 4 despite telling ESPN Cleveland he is ready to play and believes he can outperform many current starters.
  • Team insider Mary Kay Cabot reported the Browns have no plans to trade Sanders this season and will keep developing both rookies, with Gabriel expected to get the first extended look if a change is made.
  • Cleveland is 1-3 with an offense yet to top 17 points in a game as fan and media calls grow to evaluate the rookies; the Browns face the Vikings in London in Week 5.
