Dillon Gabriel got his first preseason start for the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles and delivered a bit of a mixed bag.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns engaged in a preseason battle, but that was only due to the exhibition slate mandated by the NFL. The crowd was half full at best, as both the Eagles and Browns got their work in during the joint practices at the NovaCare Complex earlier this week.

The Browns’ third-round selection completed 13 of 18 passes for 143 yards and an interception while rushing for one yard and getting sacked twice. Gabriel looked poised early, controlling the offense and even aligning wide receiver Jamari Thrash into the right spot.

The Cleveland Browns put Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in direct competition after taking both quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

It's the Browns and Eagles, at least the reserves of those two teams, matching up in the second preseason game of the year. Who'll come out on top?

A comment Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel made during a halftime interview at Saturday's game against the Eagles became fodder for questions at his postgame interview.
