CLEVELAND, Ohio — Many Browns fans have suggested that they throw the ball down the field more.

I get it.

The deep ball is part of the game and moves the offense farther downfield. Cleveland’s offense has done the opposite, and even holds the NFL’s fewest yards gained per completion (7.8) this season.

The deep ball is a pass that travels 20 yards or more downfield, per Pro Football Focus.

When Cleveland comes out of the bye week, rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel will have six deep pass attempts and one completion to his name, after four starts and two appearances in mop-up duty.

So we will set out to answer a two-part question:

Does Gabriel need to increase his deep shots to be successful? And, do deep shots help lead to team success in any way?
