Deshaun Watson holds the Cleveland Browns' starting job heading into Week 1, with Shedeur Sanders locked in behind him as the No. 2. As both sat out the preseason finale, forgotten options Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green got the chance to play against the New England Patriots.
And they made the best use of the opportunity to torch New England on Thursday night. Their solid display puts real pressure on Coach Prime's son.
Gabriel played the entire first half and put up great numbers. He went 12-of-15 for 186 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He connected with Luke Floriea for two scores, starting with a 6-yard touchdown pass early on, and also completed big gains of 52 and 29 yards.
Green took over for the second half and led a long, 98-yard touchdown drive. He leaned heavily on his elite running ability, which matches his 4.36-second 40-yard dash from the combine. Backed by their strong performances, the Browns secured a convincing 37-13 victory.
