It takes a lot to get Myles Garrett to sit on the sidelines. The Cleveland Browns defensive end is dealing with an ankle injury, but that wasn't going to stop him from playing on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in London.

After being benched late in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Detroit Lions, Joe Flacco has lost his starting job with the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns were blasted last weekend by the aforementioned Lions in Motown, 34-10. Joe Flacco threw two more interceptions in the loss. He has thrown six already this season. The veteran’s QBR for the season sits at a less than desirable 27.0 which ranks 32nd in the NFL. For reference’s sake, Wentz ranks 29th with a QBR of 38.7.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s time for the Browns to start rookie Dillon Gabriel beginning Sunday against the Vikings in London, and possibly make Joe Flacco the backup. Coming off their embarrassing 34-10 loss to the Lions, the Browns need to jumpstart their turnover-and-drop-prone offense, and Gabriel can provide the spark.

Bengals tight end Noah Fant had been trending toward being available after he was evaluated for the head injury in Week 3 and is set to return Sunday against the Lions.

The Cleveland Browns have officially benched Joe Flacco in favor of rookie third round pick Dillon Gabriel.
