Shedeur Sanders’ failed two-point conversion seals Browns’ OT loss to Saints
Shedeur Sanders and the Browns' offense caught fire late in Sunday's game against the Saints, but Cleveland's fate came down to a two-point try.
In a sluggish game between the Browns and Saints, both offenses began to perform well late, resulting in an exciting finish to the Sunday slate. Shedeur Sanders, starting in place of an injured Deshaun Watson, scored two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime, connecting with KC Concepcion for 64 yards and Harold Fannin Jr. for 39 yards.
However, the outcome came down to a two-point conversion attempt by the Browns. Coach Todd Monken decided to go for two points and a win rather than settle for a tie at best, as there was a risk of losing a game that would have been a tie. The Browns missed their shot to win when Sanders' pass targeting Denzel Boston was incomplete, and the Saints' defense held strong on the two-point conversion. The Browns lost the game, leaving them out of the playoff picture at 5-4 after entering Week 10.
