CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In a nail-biting showdown against the Rams, the Cleveland Browns snagged a narrow 19-17 victory, but it was the performance of quarterbacks that stole the spotlight.
Shedeur Sanders, who dazzled in his preseason opener against the Panthers, found himself in hot water this time around. Struggling against a mix of third- and fourth-string players, Sanders managed a dismal 3 of 6 for a meager 14 yards, averaging just 2.3 yards per attempt. To make matters worse, he was sacked five times for a staggering loss of 41 yards, resulting in a lackluster quarterback rating of 56.2.
Meanwhile, Dillon Gabriel was quietly making waves, showcasing his potential as a serious contender for the backup QB role in Week 1. Gabriel's performance might just put him in the mix as the Browns evaluate their options heading into the regular season.
As the preseason wraps up, all eyes are on the Browns' quarterback situation. Will they stick with Sanders, or is Gabriel's impressive showing enough to secure him the backup position? The competition just got a lot more interesting!
