Saints offense has a huge edge on the Browns defense in this key stat

Pro Football Focus would suggest the New Orleans Saints offense has one huge advantage over the Cleveland Browns defense. That comes in the form of play action passing.

Derek Carr grades out as one of the best quarterbacks in the league when using play action. The lack of play action was one of the things missing from last year’s offensive game plan. Under Klint Kubiak, PFF grades Carr as the third-best quarterback when using play action. Against play action, the Browns allow the 30th most yards in the NFL.

That creates a matchup between a top-five quarterback and bottom-five defense in...

NJ: How impactful of a signing has former Saints QB Jameis Winston been for the Browns this season? Do his contributions go beyond on-field production, much like his tenure in New Orleans?

CP: At first, it was tough to get into Jameis Winston in a Browns uniform. Fans were so dismayed with Deshaun Watson, and we were coming off of the magical season that Joe Flacco had in 2023 with the Browns to lead...

The New Orleans Saints are looking to add to the win column after an exhilarating win against their division rivals. However, a homecoming for an old foe stands in the Saints way.

The New Orleans Saints are more than familiar with quarterback Jameis Winston. The gunslinger started his first five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with New Orleans for four seasons. Winston threw 99 interceptions during his time in the NFC South and has become notorious for his turnover problems.

During his first start after taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson, Winston threw three...

The New Orleans Saints have finally ended the 7-game losing streak after a win against the Atlanta Falcons. This result moves their projected 2025 NFL Draft selection to pick 7.

In this win, the Saints Pass rush looked much better, and the offensive line really stepped up. There were some issues that almost cost New Orleans the game. The Offense in the second half became stagnant. It felt like if the Saints had more of a mobile quarterback, the offense would open up a bit more. On defense, the line once again struggled against the run.

The edge rush group is arguably the top strength of...

If you needed any further proof that the NFL is a game of moments, look at the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions have spent less time this year leading the opposition than the Saints. By that stat you’d assume, at the least, the Saints are having a season on par with the Chiefs. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Saints currently sit at 3-7 and had a top-5five pick in the NFL draft a week ago. The Chiefs are the NFL’s only undefeated team. These teams are on drastically different paths.

This stat highlights one...

The New Orleans Saints host Jameis Winston and the Cleveland Browns this Sunday afternoon. The Saints looked like a whole new team last Sunday when they took down the Falcons 20-17, and the Browns have looked like a shell of what people thought they would be in the preseason.

Jameis Winston, who formerly played for the Saints for four years, has taken over at QB for the Browns after Deshaun Watson went down with an achilles injury. In his first game, Winston was great, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns in a win over the Ravens, but his last time out, he threw three picks in a...
