Dillon Gabriel Responds to Shedeur Sanders Miming Answers to Media in Viral Video

The Cleveland Browns are starting rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel on Sunday morning in London against the Minnesota Vikings and sitting veteran Joe Flacco after four regular season games.

When asked about the move on Wednesday, Sanders mimed his responses to questions instead of using his words.

Two days later, Gabriel was asked about Sanders' reaction, and he provided this response to Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer.

"We can only control what we can control, but I don't want to speak for anyone in particular," Gabriel said.

Gabriel is rightfully focused on the task at hand on Sunday. Simply put, Sanders' viral reaction is irrelevant as he readies for a major moment in his professional career.

Not only is he making his first-ever NFL start, but he's got a tall order to lead a 1-3 Browns team overseas against a Vikings team with a stout defense (No. 9 in fewest points per game allowed).

Cleveland has had a ton of trouble scoring this year, currently sitting 31st overall in the NFL with 14.0 PPG. So Gabriel is now charged with getting the Browns' offense going before the season potentially spirals out of control.

As for Sanders, his actions were in response to ESPN analyst Rex Ryan's remarks on Monday's edition of Get Up! Of note, Ryan basically challenged Sanders, saying he has the talent to be a starting quarterback but that he needs to stop talking and do a better job studying.

Sanders remains the team's third-string quarterback behind Flacco, who is now QB2 on the depth chart.

As far as Sunday's game goes, kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET from London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
