In a dominant display, the Cleveland Browns secured a 14-0 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 of the 2026 season. This win keeps the Browns firmly in the playoff hunt, while the Saints struggle to find their footing as they face a challenging season ahead. Cleveland’s offense was led by Taylen Green, who contributed 29 rushing yards, and Dylan Sampson, who made key catches for a total of 44 receiving yards. Though the passing game struggled overall, with Tyler Shough of the Saints only managing 50 passing yards, the Browns effectively capitalized on their opportunities to seal the game. Defensively, the Browns were relentless, with Jared Verse making his presence felt by recording two total tackles and a sack. The turning point came when Donovan McMillon intercepted a pass, thwarting a potential Saints scoring drive and keeping New Orleans off the board. This defensive stand was crucial in maintaining the Browns' shutout and securing their victory.
