Becoming NFL history’s first quarterback to make start No. 1 during an international game already ensured Dillon Gabriel a “10” on the unofficial coolness scale, but it didn’t take Cleveland’s quarterback long to ensure the highlights were just as brilliant. Eyeing a lead on the scoreboard — and his star tight end in the middle of the field — Gabriel checked every box during a nine-yard touchdown through heavy, almost-triple coverage against the Vikings’ secondary. Minnesota’s late-game execution ensured them Oct. 5, 2025’s last laugh, but Gabriel left Browns’ front office with plenty to smile about nonetheless, going 19-of-33 for 190 yards alongside two touchdowns and zero turnovers.
