vs Houston TexansSunday, November 15 · 1:00 PM ETTV: FOXBrowns After Week 9: Season Report
The Cleveland Browns lost 23-22 at the New Orleans Saints, a team that sits at 3-5. The defeat came a week after a 6-27 loss at Pittsburgh, so the Browns have now lost 2 straight. Both games were on the road, where they now stand 2-4.
Shedeur Sanders kept the game close through the air, completing 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns without an interception. Carson Schwesinger did the heavy lifting on defense with 20 tackles and 2 sacks, the fullest stat line of any Browns defender in the loss.
At 5-4, the Browns trail the Steelers and Bengals, both 6-2, in the AFC North and sit ahead of the 4-5 Ravens. They are 8th in the AFC, outside the top seven, with no seed today. Since Week 5, they lost at the Jets, then beat the Ravens and Titans before the current slide.
The defense holds up at 21.8 points allowed, 14th of 32, but the offense converts just 34.2% on third down, 30th of 32. Those 5 wins already equal last season's total from a 5-12 finish. Deshaun Watson leads the offense with 1,807 passing yards. Carson Schwesinger leads the defense with 136 tackles, and Mason Graham has 4.0 sacks.
The Texans (2-5), Raiders (4-4) and Bengals (6-2) come next, in Weeks 10, 12 and 13. The Texans and Raiders look manageable, while the Bengals game bears directly on the division title chase. Still in the playoff race with 8 games left, the Browns play this entire stretch at home, where they are 3-0.
