Kevin Stefanski makes Browns starting QB announcement after Joe Flacco struggles in Week 3 originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Cleveland Browns won one of the ugliest games you will ever see in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Part of the reason it was so ugly was the play of the quarterbacks, as Browns veteran Joe Flacco and Packers signal-caller Jordan Love both left a lot to be desired.
Flacco completed 21-of-36 passes for 142 yards and one interception. Meanwhile, Love was 18-of-25 for 183 yards and threw one touchdown to one pick.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost late in the game, the Browns mounted a miraculous fourth quarter comeback that was aided by a late blocked field goal and last-second field goal to win the game.
As Flacco was navigating his poor performance, many were wondering if now might be the time that the Browns make the switch to Dillon Gabriel, who is the next man up on the depth chart.

However, head coach Kevin Stefanski revealed after the game that the Browns are sticking with Flacco.
“Browns’ Kevin Stefanski said he’s sticking with Joe Flacco going forward despite the tough sledding,” Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com wrote.
It is fair to point out that the Browns were without two starting tackles in the game, as Jack Conklin (elbow) was inactive due to injury and Dawand Jones left early because of injury.
Not to mention, the Packers had arguably the best defense in the NFL going into the contest, so this was a very difficult matchup.
The Browns are going to have to get a look at their young quarterbacks at some point this season, but clearly they aren’t ready to do that yet.
