The Cleveland Browns have benched veteran quarterback Joe Flacco after a 1-3 start, replacing him with rookie Dillon Gabriel. Flacco, 40, expressed surprise at the decision but vowed to support Gabriel. Gabriel, a third-round pick, will aim to revitalize a struggling offense that has averaged only 14 points per game. Flacco will now serve as the backup. The Browns are preparing to face the Vikings in London.
