Jameis Winston led the Cleveland Browns in their game against the New Orleans Saints, returning to New Orleans with a strong performance. Winston threw for 235 yards in the first half and connected with Jerry Jeudy for an 89-yard touchdown, which was the Browns' first play over 40 yards this season and tied for the fourth-longest passing play in Browns history. Despite being down 14-6 at halftime, the Browns tied the game at 14-14 in the third quarter when Winston found Elijah Moore for a 30-yard touchdown and completed a two-point conversion pass to David Njoku. Denzel Ward had two takeaways in the first half, including an interception and a forced fumble recovery, but left the game with a chest injury before returning in the second half. The Browns faced significant injuries during the game; left tackle Dawand Jones was carted off with a left ankle injury and ruled out, leaving them down to their third-string left tackle after Jedrick Wills Jr. was ruled out before the game due to a flare-up of his right knee injury. Kicker Dustin Hopkins missed multiple field goals, including a 27-yarder, leaving points on the field in a closely contested game.
