The Cleveland Browns<\/a> benched Joe Flacco after a 1-3 start to the 2025 season. Flacco, the veteran quarterback, threw six interceptions in four games, with the offense averaging just 14 points per game. Head coach Kevin Stefanski announced the decision, citing the need for a spark. Flacco, previously the starter, now shifts to a backup role behind the new quarterback.<\/p>

Instead of Shedeur Sanders, the Browns named rookie Dillon Gabriel as the starter. Gabriel, a third-round pick from Oregon, impressed in training camp. Meanwhile, Sanders, a fifth-round pick from Colorado, remains a QB3 for the Browns. Gabriel gets his first NFL <\/a>start against the Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday. But here’s the thing, not everyone is happy about that decision, certainly not Sanders.<\/p>

Shedeur Sanders’ Mime Response Went Viral and Certainly Unique<\/h2>

Shedeur Sanders recently went viral for his mime response to Browns naming Dillon Gabriel as the starting QB instead of him. When reporters asked Sanders about his thoughts on the starting QB role given to Gabriel, he simply used mime as his response, meaning using an acting technique of conveying a story, or emotions, or idea, without use of speech. Or simply put, Sanders decided to keep his words to himself, not uttering a single word. <\/p>

ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky Did Not Hold Back Against Shedeur Sanders’ Mime Response<\/h2>

Looking at the way Sanders decided to address the media, ESPN’s NFL <\/a>analyst Dan Orlovsky went off on Sanders. “I don’t think there is a time and place to act like that as a quarterback. I think everything you do as a quarterback… is a job interview. Every single thing you do. My question to Shedeur would be, <\/em><\/strong>‘are you helping yourself in your own building?’… Did you help yourself outside of your own building?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

“There are 64 spots in that spot in the NFL. Did that 30 or 40 seconds helped you at all when it comes to your future there or your elsewhere. And when you’re a later round draft pick, every single thing that you do has to be from the lens of how do I make myself more appealing to the people in this building that’s saying give that guy a chance.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
