How concerned should the Browns be at this point in the season? Original
Nov. 10, 2026, 4:14 p.m. ET The Cleveland Browns dropped their second game in a row on Sunday. This time it was at the hands of a New Orleans Saints team that entered the game with a 2-5 record. This loss now takes the Browns out of playoff position despite leading the AFC North just two weeks ago. At this moment, it feels like the season is slipping away. Starting the year 5-2 was every bit as unexpected as it was exciting. Now it feels like that start has been squandered.
Shedeur Sanders on if he should start: 'That's a setup question'
The Cleveland Browns fell in overtime to the New Orleans Saints by a score of 23-22. It was a game that you'd hope the Browns would win as a team firmly in the playoff hunt and going against a team with a 2-5 record coming into this game, but it was a failed two-point conversion at the end that was the difference in this game. After scoring just 6 total points through the first three quarters, the Browns' passing attack came to life down the stretch.
Browns rookie WR comments on his first NFL touchdown
Sunday was a disappointing day for the Cleveland Browns . They lost in overtime to the New Orleans Saints and began to fall further behind in the race for the AFC North. However, there was some silver lining in this game. Rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion scored his first career touchdown in the NFL. Overall, he tallied 85 receiving yards and the one score in this game. He had this to say on finally reaching the end zone. It truly was a highlight catch worthy of being his first.
Browns HC really proud of Shedeur Sanders' play in Week 9
Winning in the NFL with a backup quarterback isn't easy. Especially when you average less than 3.0 yards per carry on the ground. However, the Cleveland Browns almost did exactly that today. Shedeur Sanders got the start for an injured Deshaun Watson. And although his performance wasn't as good as the box score may indicate, he also didn't play them out of this game. His pair of passing touchdowns in the final 20:00 minutes of play gave the team a chance to win.
Former Steelers HC believes Shedeur Sanders should start going forward
The Cleveland Browns lost to a bad New Orleans Saints team on Sunday. As a result, they lost important ground in a playoff race where they had a chance to keep pace. It's a loss that everyone should have everyone feeling frustrated. However, the thing that might be even more frustrating is people not being honest about what we saw on the field today. The former head coach of a division rival did exactly that following the game.
What grade did CBS Sports give the Browns for their Week 9 effort?
It is a disappointing Monday for the Cleveland Browns following a 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints . They currently sit on the outside looking in of the playoff picture after a 5-2 start to the year. This game feels like the type of missed opportunity that could ultimately cost a team a postseason berth. Despite collective frustration, the Browns actually weren't graded too harshly in this week's CBS Sports Week Nine report card.

Nov. 9, 2026, 11:11 p.m. ET The Cleveland Browns lost a critical game on Sunday, falling to 5-4 and squandering a 5-2 start that had them on top of the AFC North. This second consecutive loss puts them that much further behind in the playoff race. That should be the primary storyline coming out of this game. However, a different storyline is emerging in the wake of this game.

Saints HC speaks on what type of prospect Shedeur Sanders was
This weekend, second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be getting the start for the Cleveland Browns. After a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie, Sanders has been the primary backup this season. This will be his opportunity to make an impression on coaches. It was not long ago that Sanders was regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. Unfortunately, an unforeseen draft-day tumble made him a 5th-round pick for the Browns.
3 Positions the Browns have an edge over the Saints in Week 9 Original
Nov. 8, 2026, 5:25 a.m. ET This weekend, the 5-3 Cleveland Browns will take on the 2-5 New Orleans Saints. You wouldn’t tell from their record, but going into the year, most would have said the Saints were the team on the rise and the Browns were rebuilding. In reality, these two teams are pretty close together in terms of overall talent. That being said, there is a reason the Browns are in the playoff hunt and the Saints sit at the bottom of the NFC South.
Saints quarterback speaks on Browns' defense
Nov. 8, 2026, 3:25 a.m. CT This weekend, the Cleveland Browns will travel south and play the New Orleans Saints. This is an opportunity to bounce back for the Browns against a 2-5 Saints team that hasn’t been especially good this year. As has typically been the case this year, expect the Browns to lean on their defense in this game. This is the strength of Cleveland’s team, and most people would agree on that. Even Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has taken notice.
3 bold predictions for the Browns in Week 9 against the Saints
The Cleveland Browns are looking to keep pace in the playoff race this weekend. They will have to beat the 2-5 New Orleans Saints to do that and hopefully gain some ground in the AFC North. This is a winnable game, and to expect the Browns to win is not a bold opinion. If you want some sort of bold prediction, then we have those too. A forecast that goes beyond that of normal expectations, but also stays in the realm of reality. Here are my three bold predictions for the Browns against the Saints.
Are the Browns a fit for Chargers' Khalil Mack in a trade?
Are the Browns a fit for Chargers' Khalil Mack in a trade? The Cleveland Browns have a rare opportunity in front of them. Not only can they take a firm grasp on first place in the AFC North this weekend, but they can also put themselves in position to be buyers at the NFL trade deadline. Not something we have been able to say about this team in recent years. The Browns have two more games before the November 10th trade deadline.
3 Key matchups for the Browns in Week 8 against the Steelers
This Sunday, the Cleveland Browns will travel east to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in a key divisional matchup. Both teams have a 5-2 record as they jockey for position in the race to win the AFC North. I won't call it a must-win game, but every division game is important in a close race. The Steelers are early favorites as the home team. If the Browns want to pull off the upset, then they will have to win the pivotal battles.
Cleveland activates quarterback Dillon Gabriel off injured reserve
The Cleveland Browns are activating quarterback Dillon Gabriel off of injured reserve. He has been out since suffering a back injury in the final preseason game in late August. In a corresponding move, the team has waived tight end Carsen Ryan. The Browns drafted Gabriel in the 3rd round, 94th overall, in the 2025 NFL draft. This is the range of the draft where you expect to pick up contributors, if not starters on your team.
ESPN analyst embracing excitement surrounding he Browns' success
If you haven't heard yet, the Cleveland Browns are 4-2 and leading the AFC North through the first six weeks. Whether they can sustain this success or not is yet to be seen.

Kelce attended the University of Cincinnati from 2006 to 2010.
Keys for the Browns' offense in Week 7 against the Titans Original
Oct. 20, 2026, 9:04 p.m. ET The Cleveland Browns are fresh off of a division win against the Baltimore Ravens. They are now in first place in the AFC North and looking to keep that momentum going. Traveling to Nashville and playing the 1-5 Titans could help them do exactly that. The Tennessee Titans are one of the worst teams in the league this year. However, their defense has been better than some might realize. Moving the ball up and down the field is no sure thing in this game.
