Saints hold off Browns in overtime
The Browns failed on a 2-point conversion in overtime after Shedeur Sanders threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns.
- On Sunday at Caesars Superdome, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Cleveland Browns 23-22 in overtime, with quarterback Tyler Shough delivering a touchdown pass to tight end Juwan Johnson to secure the victory.

- Erasing Cleveland's late lead, New Orleans running back Audric Estime scored a two-yard touchdown with less than 1:00 remaining. The Browns then failed a two-point conversion attempt in overtime, sealing the 23-22 loss.
- Coach Todd Monken declined to name a starting quarterback for next week's game against the Houston Texans, though Deshaun Watson has cleared concussion protocol. The decision leaves uncertainty about whether Watson or Sanders will lead Cleveland's offense.
