The Cleveland Browns are coming off their second win of the season, and the first win of Dillon Gabriel’s career, dominating the Miami Dolphins 31-6. Unfortunately for the rookie quarterback, the win didn’t shift the narrative around him. Fans and media members are still criticizing Gabriel for his lack of big plays, and for not really being a factor in the results of the three games he’s started.
Against Miami, the quarterback only completed 13-of-18 passes for 116 yards, and rushed for 12 yards. In his defense, though, Cleveland didn’t ask him to do much. Playing in rainy, windy conditions, the Browns were able to lean on defense, special teams, and a strong rushing attack.
