Browns can’t put away Vikings as Dillon Gabriel’s first start ends in heartbreak

Dillon Gabriel made his first-ever NFL start in Week 5 in London against the Minnesota Vikings, as the rookie officially took the reins from the veteran Joe Flacco. The offense played clean football as a whole, but the Browns were unable to make enough plays to put away the Vikings in a tough 21-17 loss on Sunday morning (Cleveland local time).
