Cleveland Browns Secure 31-6 Victory Over Miami Dolphins With QB Dillon Gabriel's First NFL Win

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel secured his first NFL win in a 31-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins, where he completed 13 of 18 passes for 116 yards without touchdowns or interceptions, playing a game-manager role amid adverse weather conditions. The Browns' dominant performance was highlighted by rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, who scored three rushing touchdowns, and a strong defensive effort that included three interceptions of Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Head coach Kevin Stefanski limited Gabriel's role, relying heavily on the running game and defense to build a halftime lead. Gabriel emphasized the importance of team effort and continuous improvement in key areas like red-zone efficiency and third-down conversions. Despite mixed reviews of his play, Gabriel has shown leadership qualities and maintained his starting position over Shedeur Sanders, although former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb expressed sympathy for the pressure Gabriel faces amid fan scrutiny. The Browns aim to build momentum as they prepare for their next game against the New England Patriots.
