Browns pleased with QB Shedeur Sanders’ spot start in a 1-point loss to the Saints

In a thrilling game of overtime, the New Orleans Saints secured a 23-22 victory over the Cleveland Browns by thwarting a crucial 2-point conversion attempt. The Saints, who had not won at home this season, took advantage of their opening possession to score first, leading 9-6. However, the Browns responded with a 64-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders to KC Concepcion Jr., extending their lead to 13-16.

The Saints then capitalized on Audric Estime's 2-yard touchdown with just 58 seconds left in the fourth quarter, pushing the score to 16-13. Despite a 51-yard field goal from Andre Szmyt tying the game at 17-17, the Saints' defense held firm, allowing only 23 unanswered points for Cleveland. Tyler Shough's 21-of-35 passing for 265 yards and a touchdown, along with Chris Olave's seven catches for 98 yards, proved instrumental in the Saints' overtime triumph.
