Saints 23, Browns 22 in Overtime: A Do-or-Die Two-Point Conversion Wins It
Week 9's wildest finish needed overtime and one snap for everything. New Orleans beat Cleveland 23-22 on Sunday by converting a do-or-die two-point try in the extra period.
New Orleans beat Cleveland 23-22 in overtime on Sunday, in the Week 9 roundup reports read by the desk Sunday night — a game that stayed undecided until a single snap in the extra period settled it.
The Saints won it on a do-or-die two-point conversion, Sportsnet's roundup reported: rather than extend the game, New Orleans put the outcome on one play in overtime and converted it, outlasting the Browns by the single point that separated the teams all afternoon.
The finish headlined a dramatic Sunday across the league — Dallas rallying late to win at Indianapolis, Houston routing the Chargers behind five C.J. Stroud touchdown passes — and it stands as the day's clearest statement of the modern overtime gamble: when the conversion is there, the Saints took it, and it made them winners.
