CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS INSTANT REACTION
The Cleveland Browns needed a win to keep their incredibly slim chances of making the playoffs alive.
Through the first 30 minutes of the game against the Saints, Derek Carr, Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara dominated most of the action.
Denzel Ward did have an interception and a forced fumble in the first half.
Jameis Winston connected with Jerry Jeudy on an 89 yard touchdown pass for the Browns lone TD of the half.
The phrase they say in New Orleans is "Laissez les bons temps rouler." Translated from the Louisiana French-Creole, it basically means "Let the good times roll."
The Browns haven't had many good times over the first nine games of the season. Really, just two, their only two wins, which came a month apart.
Cleveland (2-7) will look to a trip to one of the United States' biggest party cities to get the party started over the final eight games of the season. They'll do so against the Saints, who snapped a seven-game losing streak of their own last week against the Atlanta Falcons to improve to 3-7, but 1-0 under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.
So, who'll let the good time roll?
Here's how the three writers who follow the Browns for us, Chris Easterling, Nate Ulrich and Dan Kadar, view the team's Week 11 road game.
Browns vs. Saints prediction: Who wins in NFL Week 11 Sunday afternoon?
EASTERLING: This game has all sorts of storylines that would've made it a great, intriguing matchup had it been 7-2 against 7-3. Instead, it's the opposite. Still, Jameis Winston's return to New Orleans could be a spectacular success for Cleveland. Or, it could turn into a spectacular disaster. It's the kind of gamble suitable for one of the riverboat casino cruising down the Mississippi River. Here's making the bet it comes up Cleveland's way. BROWNS 24, SAINTS 17
