The 5AM Cleveland team
If you missed it, the Browns lost 23-22 in overtime at the Saints on Sunday. Shedeur Sanders started because Deshaun Watson, who cleared concussion protocol Saturday, did not play. Sanders went 19 of 31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns.

Andre Szmyt's 51-yard field goal with 8 seconds left forced overtime. Tyler Shough then hit Juwan Johnson from 15 yards for the Saints, and Harold Fannin Jr. answered with a 39-yard touchdown with a minute left. Coach Todd Monken chose to go for two, and Sanders' pass fell incomplete.
“You're really saying tie or lose is what you're saying there, if you kick the extra point. That's my opinion. You're saying tie or lose. And in that moment I said, 'Nah, that's not me.'”
