Browns Stand By Dillon Gabriel After Rookie of the Week Nod Draws Backlash

Head coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed Gabriel as the starter to prioritize continuity.

Overview

  • The NFL nominated Dillon Gabriel for Week 10 Rookie of the Week after a 27-20 loss to the Jets, in which he threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns and added 54 rushing yards.
  • Fan reaction on social media was largely negative, with some calling the nomination a participation award and questioning why he was included.
  • Stefanski said the Browns will stick with Gabriel and emphasized the need for better execution and coaching across the offense.
  • Gabriel remains near the bottom of the league in yards per attempt at roughly 5.0, and coverage notes a lack of consistent downfield plays.
  • Gabriel is expected to start Sunday at home against the Ravens, while discussion continues about Shedeur Sanders’ chances, with a local report indicating it may be early for a switch.
