The Browns and Saints haven’t been able to put much on the board, and the two teams are tied 3-3 at halftime.
The points have come from the kickers, as New Orleans’ Charlie Smyth opened the scoring with a 30-yard field goal midway through the first period.
Andre Szmyt had a 41-yard field goal to tie the game early in the second quarter.
Both teams had an opportunity deep in opponent territory but weren’t able to put the ball in the box. Saints rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson fumbled on his first career reception, with the Browns recovering inside the 10-yard line.
Then the Saints put up a goal-line stand late in the second quarter, stuffing the Browns on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1-yard line.
The Browns have just 80 yards of offense. They have more penalties (seven) than first downs (five).
New Orleans has 176 total yards, eight first downs, and is 1-of-4 on third down.
Starting for Deshaun Watson, who was in concussion protocol this week, Shedeur Sanders is just 5-of-8 for 38 yards.
On the other side, Tyler Shough has completed 7-of-10 passes for 135 yards.
The Saints will receive the second-half kickoff.
