QB Heat Turns Up in Cleveland After Lions Rout as Stefanski Sidesteps Switch

Cleveland signals patience by keeping Joe Flacco first, Dillon Gabriel next, Shedeur Sanders on standby.

Overview

  • Joe Flacco threw two interceptions in a 34-10 loss to the Lions, finishing 16-of-34 for 184 yards with no touchdowns and a fumble.
  • Dillon Gabriel entered late in the fourth quarter, reinforcing his status as the primary backup behind the veteran starter.
  • Kevin Stefanski said a quarterback change is not the team’s focus after the defeat, echoing his diplomatic stance from earlier in the week.
  • Shedeur Sanders was inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Week 4 despite recently saying he is ready and believes he could outperform many NFL starters.
  • Team insider Mary Kay Cabot reported the Browns have no plans to trade Sanders this season and intend to retain both rookie quarterbacks.
