Live scores, highlights and updates from the Browns vs. Saints football game
The Cleveland Browns will play host again and welcome the New Orleans Saints to FirstEnergy Stadium, where kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Browns are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
Cleveland had a touchdown and change to spare in a 13-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. No one had a standout game offensively for Cleveland, but WR Donovan Peoples-Jones led the way with one touchdown. QB Deshaun Watson ended up with a passer rating of 124.40.
Meanwhile, it was a close one, but this past Sunday New Orleans sidestepped the Atlanta Falcons for a 21-18 victory. New Orleans can attribute much of their success to TE Juwan Johnson, who snatched two receiving TDs.
New Orleans' defense was a presence as well, as it got past the Falcons' offensive line to sack QB Desmond Ridder four times total. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.
This next matchup is expected to be close, with the Browns going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Cleveland, who are 7-7 against the spread.
Their wins bumped Cleveland to 6-8 and the Saints to 5-9. We'll see who can continue their climb to a .500 record.
