Audric Estimé began the week as a Cleveland Brown. By the fourth quarter in New Orleans, he was running into the end zone to put the Saints ahead of them.
That unusual turn is tucked inside an afternoon that takes a while to find its touchdowns, then ends with Cleveland gambling on a two-point conversion in overtime. The pass falls incomplete, leaving New Orleans with a 23-22 win.
The NFL's official highlights drew more than half a million views in six hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening-day audience for regular videos. Giants-Eagles and Cowboys-Colts highlights were also drawing unusually fast audiences, but this game's comments have a particular focus: Shedeur Sanders, the protection around him and the chances Cleveland left unfinished.
Sanders supplies the Browns' biggest burst, finding KC Concepcion for a long touchdown that turns a fourth-quarter deficit into a lead. On commentary, the call marks Concepcion's first NFL touchdown. Estimé answers for New Orleans before Andre Szmyt sends the game to overtime with a late field goal.
Tyler Shough then finds Juwan Johnson for a Saints touchdown. Cleveland responds through Harold Fannin Jr., setting up the failed conversion that decides it.
Viewers are discussing Cleveland's offensive line and penalties, along with an earlier opportunity near the goal line. The league has also posted a separate ending compilation and "Shedeur Sanders Every Throw & Run | Week 9", giving the quarterback's afternoon its own play-by-play treatment.
