Key Points:

  • Shedeur Sanders made his first start of the season for the Browns, throwing for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns with a 114.6 rating, but the team lost 23-22 to the Saints in overtime after failing a two-point conversion.
  • In overtime, Saints quarterback Tyler Shough led a 74-yard touchdown drive, while Sanders responded with a 39-yard touchdown run by Harold Fannin Jr., but the Browns fell short on the two-point attempt.
  • Sanders showed impressive big-play ability, including a 64-yard touchdown pass to KC Concepcion and a 60-yard completion to Denzel Boston, but the Browns missed key opportunities, such as a failed goal-line attempt in the first half.
  • The Browns' coaching staff now faces a decision on whether Sanders will remain the starting quarterback or if Deshaun Watson, recently cleared from concussion protocol, will return to the lineup.
  • The Browns will look to rebound as they prepare to host the Houston Texans next Sunday at 1 p.m.
