As QB Dillon Gabriel faked the handoff to RB Quinshon Judkins, he rolled quickly to his right and launched the ball downfield towards the end zone. The ball sailed through the air and into the arms of WR Jerry Jeudy as he dove to catch the pass for the touchdown.

It was the Gabriel's second passing touchdown of the day against the Jets in Week 10, tying his career-high with two touchdown passes. He first found TE David Njoku on a 9-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to cap off a nine-play, 95-yard drive.

Gabriel completed 17 of 32 passing attempts for 167 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 54 rushing yards, a career-high in rushing yards. Gabriel was officially nominated for the NFL Rookie of the Week for Week 10.

"I think Dillon's confidence is growing each game," Jeudy said following the Browns' 27-20 loss to the Jets. "Each game he's getting better and better. All a quarterback needs is opportunity and consistency. So, him being out there and getting more reps builds his confidence. I see him growing each week."

He was nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Week alongside Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson, Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, Falcons EDGE Jalon Walker and Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori.

Fans can vote for one of the six nominated players here and on the NFL Mobile app through Thursday at 11 a.m. ET to determine who will bring home the Rookie of the Week championship belt for Week 7.

After the regular season, six players will be nominated for NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Fans can vote for the winner here throughout the month of January.
