Gabriel and Co. couldn't move past Justin Fields and the Jets, who left MetLife Stadium with a 27-20 victory. FOX Sports: NFL's X account shared a picture of Gabriel picking up a phone with 1:57 left in the fourth quarter.Plenty of fans reacted to the picture, joking about the meaning behind it. Some said Gabriel was trying to communicate with his mother."He’s calling his mom to pick him up," one fan said.Chris Schlegel @schlegs70LINKHe’s calling his mom to pick him up"Yeah, mom, meatloaf is fine," another fan said.Lenore Taylor @BolzMaryLINKYeah, mom, meatloaf is fine.....Others said he was getting calls from lower-level leagues. "Birmingham stallions calling him," one fan said. Dylan DeMatteo @DylanDeMatteo05LINKBirmingham stallions calling him 👀💀"'Dillon, Dillon! This is XFL commissioner, good job with the browns buddy! I’d like to welcome you to our league," another fan said. Some didn't forget to mention Shedeur Sanders in the conversation. "You have to start Sheduer now right?? Right???" one fan said. "Ok start Shedeur, see how he does," another fan said.Dillon Gabriel had issues getting things going again. He went 17 of 32 for 167 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, he carried the ball five times for a 54-yard gain. The Browns suffered against the Jets' special teams, a unit that scored two of the New Yorkers' three touchdowns.Like every week, many fans started calling for Shedeur Sanders to start, but Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski isn't ready to bench Gabriel yet.Kevin Stefanski to ride with Dillon Gabriel as Browns' starting QB after Jets loss After the game was over, Kevin Stefanski detailed his plans for the Browns' future. The coach revealed that he isn't making any changes at quarterback and he's sticking with Dillon Gabriel as his starter."We’re gonna stick with Dillon. Obviously this is a young player," Stefanski said, via Tony Grossi. "We have to play better as an offense."The Browns dropped to 2-7 after their loss to the Jets. Cleveland has had a championship-level defense, but a mediocre offense this season. Joe Flacco wasn't the answer they needed. Gabriel has failed to prove his value, but Shedeur Sanders still awaits an opportunity to showcase his talents.They will return to the field next Sunday, in a duel against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gabriel will start again, but it remains to be seen if he will after that matchup.
