Surprising Browns QB Shreds Talented Defense
A Cleveland Browns quarterback played an exceptional half of football, but he wasn't even in the team's top two options.
Deshaun Watson secured the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback position, but another player, Dillon Gabriel, put on a stellar performance in the first half of their preseason game against the New England Patriots. Gabriel completed 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards, throwing three touchdowns without an interception, resulting in a passer rating of 157.9 – just 0.4 points shy of perfection.
This impressive display against a top-tier defense has left many questioning why Watson and Shedeur Sanders, the main finalists, weren't given a fair chance to prove their worth. The Browns seem unwilling to cut a quarterback who delivered 27 points in just a half, suggesting Gabriel's future with the team is secure.
