The New Orleans Saints moved to two straight wins under interim head coach Darren Rizzi, beating the Cleveland Browns, 35-14.

New Orleans' offense was in rhythm all day, posting 0.335 EPA per play and dominating on the ground with 214 rushing yards. The Saints permitted 458 total yards, but the team's offense producing 8.2 yards per play was enough. The team's 21 pressures — compared to the 10 for the Browns — proved pivotal.
