PHILADELPHIA – The Browns picked up another preseason win, with younger players leading the charge for Cleveland on both sides of the ball.
Rookie QB Dillon Gabriel made his first NFL start after dealing with a hamstring injury that caused him to be limited in Week 1 of the preseason. Defensively, with a number of starters and veterans out, it opened the door for younger players to make their mark and showcase their game in the Browns' attack-style defense.
"I thought by and large, guys competed like crazy, which they did this week as well," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "So, I was pleased with the effort. And then we have to still have that mentality, that we have to get better every single day. That's what the guys are going to do."
The Browns are now 2-0 in the preseason. Here are three takeaways from the Browns' 22-13 win over the Eagles.
Dillon Gabriel's NFL debut
Gabriel's first NFL game was filled with both positive moments and areas of growth. On the opening offensive drive, Gabriel moved the Browns meticulously down the field, completing 4-of-4 passes and converting three third-downs attempts. He then handed the ball off to RB Ahmani Marshall, who found the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown run to put the Browns on the board first.
Gabriel converted his first six third-down situations, which allowed the Browns to continue drives and move down the field.
"I think those are key points, even negative plays you want to eliminate those and be as best as you can," Gabriel said. "The more we can continue to be out of the chains, getting third and true manageables, and then execute a high level when you get in those moments, that's why we got there."
He continued to march the Browns down the field on his second drive before his pass was picked off by S Andrew Mukuba and returned 75 yards for a pick six. Stefanski explained that their tight end and wide receiver were "out of their sandbox" on the play, which led to the miscommunication on the throw and the ultimately, the interception.
Also in the second quarter, there was also a fumble on a handoff exchange between him and RB Pierre Strong Jr., which the Eagles recovered and set them up in Browns territory. Stefanski reiterated how on those handoffs, both the quarterback and running must be on the same page. Stefanski also pointed out how those two giveaways played a factor in the results of the first half.
In the first half, Gabriel completed 13-of-18 passes for 143 yards and one interception. He was also sacked twice. Gabriel did not play in the second half but showcased in the first half how he can manage the Browns' offense through different situations in drives that led to scoring drives. Overall, Stefanski was pleased with Gabriel's operation of the game, noting in preseason games they look for the quarterbacks to orchestrate, get in and out of the huddle and make the right calls.
"There are some things that I thought he did well," Stefanski said. "I thought our offense as a whole on third down was very good early, which allowed us to stay on the field because I don't think we were great on first and second down, but plenty to clean up."

Browns' defense limits success of Eagles' offense
The Browns' defense made their presence known though throughout the game, forcing the Eagles into multiple three-and-out situations. The Eagles only converted 4-of-12 third down attempts and were forced to punt the ball away. They also held the Eagles to 33 net rushing yards and 55 net receiving yards, with the Browns' pass rush applying ample pressure and the run defense stopping the Eagles from running the ball.
As a defense they recorded seven tackles for loss – with LB Nathaniel Watson leading the team with three – and five passes defensed.
"I was really pleased with Wednesday and Thursday, really pleased with the guys today, obviously," Stefanski said. "Our brand of defense, you have to play really hard, and you have to compete like crazy. And I think that's what you see from our guys."
In the second quarter, DE Isaiah McGuire broke through to the backfield and sacked QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson for Cleveland's lone sack. The play resulted in a loss of nine yards on third down and forced the Eagles to punt.
In the third quarter, DE Julian Okwara pressured Thompson-Robinson and the ball popped up in the air, which DE K.J. Henry intercepted and returned 45 yards for the touchdown. Later in the quarter, Okwara deflected a pass by QB Kyle McCord, which forced the Eagles to punt.
While the Browns' defense recorded one takeaway, they also had a second takeaway be negated due to an offsides penalty – which Stefanski noted as another area of emphasis to clean up.
"We're just trying to hammer home how important it is to win that turnover margin in these football games," Stefanski said.
