London Is a Long Way From Cleveland to Play a Home Game, Browns Co-Owner Says

Rookie Dillon Gabriel starts to address Browns’ 1-3 offensive struggles as Joe Flacco moves to backup and Shedeur Sanders remains emergency quarterback.

  • On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns announced rookie Dillon Gabriel will start over veteran Joe Flacco in London against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 5 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • Offensive struggles prompted the move as the Browns are 1-3 with Flacco starting four games, failing to score over 20 points while he completed just over 58% of passes for 815 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions.
  • The third-round pick impressed in camp and preseason despite missing time with a hamstring, was 2024 Big 10 Offensive Player of the Year at Oregon, and said `I think a great practice of when your name's called to be ready` after his Week 2 debut.
  • The Browns hope Gabriel's start sparks the offense as he gets his first significant NFL reps Sunday and could see his first true road game in Pittsburgh in two weeks against the Steelers.
  • The Browns' offensive line metrics pose notable risks as Browns quarterbacks have been sacked 18 times and Cleveland allowed nine sacks through four weeks, while the Vikings have 11 sacks and Flores is 4-0 versus rookies.
