Saints

It's impossible to avoid the What If? game when the New Orleans Saints play the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

The Saints went hard for Watson. His ability to improvise and make plays on the move is what makes him such a dynamic player.” They remember how Watson almost singlehandedly beat them in the 2019 season opener at the Superdome. “The more and more reps he gets, he’ll get back into it. Now the guy who spurned the Saints in March has a chance to spoil their season nine months later. Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson was the object of the Saints’ affection in March.

Juwan Johnson and Rashid Shaheed will become Dalton's "go-to" guys, with leading receiver Chris Olave sidelined with a hamstring injury and Jarvis Landry out for the remainder of the season. The offensive line is without a starter after New Orleans placed guard Cesar Ruiz on IR for a foot injury. Mathieu and May must prevent Watson from gaining confidence in the intermediate and downfield passing phases. However, the Saints are the league's worst in turnover differential. New Orleans has to win the turnover battle. Both teams will brave the elements and execute their gameplans in the inclement weather conditions.

The weather will be frightful for the Saints and Browns. Their playoff chances are already there. With a forecast for temperatures in single digits and wind ...

The New Orleans Saints may find themselves visiting some unfriendly confines Saturday, with Cleveland expecting bitter cold for Christmas Eve.

Once the game kicks off, it should get up to around 10-15 degrees, with the snow being scattered throughout the game. Furthermore, the winds will be blowing southwest. Furthermore, there will be 30 mph winds with gusts up to 60 mph. There should be showers, but it won't be a continuous blizzard throughout the game. A severe winter weather warning is in effect in Northern Ohio, and the wind chill is expected to duck below -10 degrees. According to Weather.com, ongoing snow is supposed to end around 11 a.m. The Saints, meanwhile, are 5-9, just one game back of the Buccaneers in the NFC South. As of Thursday, at noon on gameday it's going to be around 9 degrees with a 34 percent chance of snow following an entire night of snow in the area. ET, but a chance for more remains throughout the game. Mother Nature won't be doing them any favors Saturday, that much is certain. The Browns, at 6-8, are two games back of an AFC wild card. However, they don't hold the tiebreaker, so they need some help as well.

Saints fans are already upset with the way Dennis Allen is coaching this Saturday's game against the Browns.

Stop making Andy Dalton throw, stop using wildcat Kamara, just run Taysom Hill down their throats you dumb dumb." "You have Taysom Hill. "Dennis Allen is such a s---head," he tweeted.

Brees was briefly unseated by Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who returned from his league-mandated suspension for alleged sexual misconduct with a ...

Brees claimed dozens of them during his storied NFL career, and he’ll hold onto many of them for quite a long time. But he’s a surefire lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a few years regardless of who owns this record. Watson notched completion percentages of 54.5%, 61.9%, and 64.3% in three games with the Browns so far, but he has a chance at leveling out against the Saints themselves on Sunday afternoon. Brees is once again the NFL’s all-time leader in completion percentage after some young aspirants to his title took a nosedive — his career mark of 67.7% is the highest measured at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (67.6%) is on the mend, as is Arizona Cardinals passer Kyler Murray (66.8%). Look, there’s no doubting whether Drew Brees is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in NFL history.

On a record-cold day at FirstEnergy Stadium, the Browns were unable to score crucial second-half points against the Saints.

The weather certainly contributed to that, and Watson was forced to pass more than the Browns likely would've preferred in the conditions because they were behind on the scoreboard late in the game. Moment that mattered most: On the second drive of the second half, Watson dropped back for a pass and looked to connect with WR David Bell. The Browns struck first on the scoreboard with a 12-yard touchdown run from Deshaun Watson, his first rushing TD as the Browns' starting QB, and a 30-yard field goal from Cade York.

Safety [Daniel Sorensen](/team/players-roster/daniel-sorensen/) deserves credit for coming up with an interception and 36-yard return that led to the lead-taking touchdown, and was huge for a defense which hasn't forced many turnovers this season. [Carl Granderson](/team/players-roster/carl-granderson/) displayed the kind of day it would be for him when, on third down on Cleveland's opening drive, he stared down mobile quarterback Deshaun Watson on a rollout and forced Watson to throw incomplete. [Alvin Kamara](/team/players-roster/alvin-kamara/) (20-76-1) and quarterback [Taysom Hill](/team/players-roster/taysom-hill/) (9-56-1) were outstanding.

Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara lead the way for the New Orleans Saints as they seal a victory over Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns.

With a big test on the way in the next week, New Orleans will look to extend that streak to three straight games against the Philadelphia Eagles. But even with that, the team is well within the division conversation even if their focus is not on their postseason lives. There was no reason for the Browns to throw the ball 31 times in this matchup. What that amounted to was just 3.4 yards per play, their second least-successful quarter of the game. Good to know that Hill got the opportunities he served, especially in this style matchup. New Orleans is certainly not the coldest place to play or practice in the NFL, even when outdoors. But that has clearly not held the Saints back in their games. For the first time in the 2022 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints have won two games in a row. So to turn around and win on the prowess of those elements is a positive step for New Orleans. Even in a game wherein the rushing attack was paramount, a couple of incomplete passes to practice squad member Keith Kirkwood more than showed how much Olave would have impacted Saturday’s game. But the Browns put a lot more pressure on themselves than necessary, leading to some very questionable play-calling on the Cleveland sideline. The latter win coming on a 17-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in a dreadfully cold FirstEnergy Stadium.

The New Orleans Saints are hanging on by a thread to a playoff spot after their 17-10 victory over the Browns in a freezing cold Cleveland.
