Dillon Gabriel throws three touchdowns in Browns preseason win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel delivered a standout performance in the team’s 37-13 preseason victory against the New England Patriots. Gabriel completed 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdown passes in the first half. His scoring connections included two touchdowns to receiver Luke Floreia and one to running back Ahmani Marshall.

The performance comes as the Browns finalize their roster and settle the quarterback position. While head coach Todd Monken recently named Deshaun Watson the starter, Gabriel’s efficient play—finishing with a 157.9 passer rating—has drawn significant attention. Monken praised Gabriel’s professionalism and preparation, noting his ability to operate the offense with confidence.

Gabriel, who made six starts as a rookie last season, used the preseason opportunity to demonstrate his readiness. His social media activity following the game also reflected a more confident persona as the roster deadline approaches.
