Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski said postgame he will stick with Dillon Gabriel at quarterback following the 27-20 loss to the Jets.
- Gabriel finished 17-of-32 for 167 yards and two touchdowns with six sacks and 54 rushing yards, falling to 1-4 as a starter as Cleveland dropped to 2-7.
- Cleveland produced 278 total yards in its first game since turning play-calling over to offensive coordinator Tommy Rees.
- Rookie Shedeur Sanders has been elevated to the No. 2 role but has not taken a regular-season snap, with some coverage suggesting Week 11 vs. the Ravens as a possible evaluation point if the offense lags.
- Veterans Joel Bitonio and Jerry Jeudy voiced confidence in Gabriel’s growth and stressed that the offense must perform better around him.
