Saints Edge Browns 23-22 in Overtime for First Home Win of the Season
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — The New Orleans Saints beat the Cleveland Browns 23-22 in overtime at Caesars Superdome on November 8, earning their first home win of the season.
On the opening drive of overtime, Saints quarterback Tyler Shough led a 74-yard march and hit tight end Juwan Johnson on a 15-yard touchdown pass with 4:17 left in the extra period. Cleveland answered as backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders found tight end Harold Fannin for a 39-yard touchdown to pull within 23-22. The Browns went for the two-point conversion and the win, but Sanders' pass fell incomplete under pressure from Carl Granderson, and the Saints held on. In the final moments of regulation, Browns kicker Andre Szmyt had tied the game with a 51-yard field goal to force overtime.
Shough finished 21 of 35 for 265 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions; Chris Olave caught seven passes for 98 yards. The Saints improved to 3-5, while the Browns fell to 5-4. New Orleans hosts the Carolina Panthers on November 15.
