Cleveland had not allowed points on an opponent’s opening drive all season.
That is, until the club played New Orleans today.
Taysom Hill broke the streak, running in a 10-yard touchdown to give the Saints a 7-0 lead over the Browns.
Cleveland had the ball first but turned it over on downs when Nick Chubb was stuffed on fourth-and-1 for a 2-yard loss.
It took only six plays for New Orleans to end up in the end zone and Hill was involved in multiple ways throughout the possession.
A shovel pass to Alvin Kamara got the Saints moving with a 13-yard gain. Then Hill got the ball in the backfield on a creative play and completed one to Kevin Austin for an 18-yard gain down to the red zone. On the next play, Hill caught a pass for a 3-yard gain.
Then Hill got it again, taking a handoff for the 10-yard score. It was Hill’s fourth touchdown of the season.
