Saints vs Browns Game Recap – NFL Week 11
The Cleveland Browns tested the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome but thanks in part to the overall excellence of Taysom Hill the Saints passed the exam and walked away with a 35-14 victory.
The win was the Saints’ second consecutive under the leadership of interim coach Darren Rizzi and improved their record to 4-7 heading into their bye week. The Browns fell to 2-8.
Hill was a contributor all over the field for the Saints, running for three touchdowns (10, 33 and 75 yards), passing for an 18-yard completion, returning a kickoff 42 yards and providing blocking on punt returns and protecting on punts. The veteran finished with 138 yards rushing, 50 yards receiving (eight catches), 42 yards on kickoffs and an 18-yard completion. All three touchdowns came with Hill lined up at quarterback, including the 75-yarder with 2:26 to play when the Saints were trying to run out the clock. It was the longest touchdown run of Hill’s career and the 34-year-old became the fifth-oldest player in NFL history to score three rushing touchdowns in a game.
