On October 5th, 2025, the Cleveland Browns are off to a promising start in their matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, making his first NFL start, has connected with fellow rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a one-yard touchdown pass, giving the Browns a 7-0 lead.
The touchdown is the first of Fannin's young career, despite the tight end leading the Browns in receptions entering this game. Gabriel, who previously threw a touchdown pass in a Week 2 loss to Baltimore, has shown poise and accuracy in leading the Browns' offense.
The Browns' scoring drive was set up by a fumble forced by defensive end Alex Wright, which the offense capitalized on. Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins provided a crucial 32-yard run to help the Browns march down the field and find the end zone.
The strong performance by Cleveland's 2025 rookie class, including Gabriel, Fannin, and Judkins, is a promising sign for the team's future. The Browns are looking to build on this early lead and secure a crucial victory over the Vikings in London.
