Eye-Opening Stat Emerges From Dillon Gabriel’s Latest Start
The Cleveland Browns fell 23-9 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel's chance to join an exclusive list of first-year signal-callers who have defeated Pittsburgh.
Only Tim Couch had previously accomplished that feat in Pittsburgh, doing so back in 1999. Gabriel completed 29 of 52 passes for 221 yards without a touchdown or interception, while absorbing six sacks from a relentless Steelers defense.
Beyond the surface-level struggles, a lesser-known statistic from Gabriel’s performance has raised concerns about the rookie’s ability to push the ball downfield effectively.
Browns Dillon Gabriel completed FOUR passes over 10 yards in the air today. He threw the ball FIFTY-TWO times
