Saints Beat Browns 23-22 in Overtime

The New Orleans Saints beat the Cleveland Browns 23-22 in overtime for their first home win of the season, after Cleveland scored a late touchdown but failed on a two-point attempt. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough threw the overtime touchdown to Juwan Johnson, and kicker Charlie Smyth made three field goals and two extra points. Making his first start of the season with Deshaun Watson sidelined by concussion symptoms, Shedeur Sanders threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns, including long scores to KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin Jr.; Browns coach Todd Monken praised Sanders but did not say whether he would start again. Audric Estime, whom New Orleans claimed after Cleveland released him days earlier, ran for 72 yards and a touchdown. The loss left the Browns 5-4 and outside the playoff picture entering Week 10; their 10 penalties also contributed to the defeat.
