New Orleans Saints: 3 Players to watch vs. Browns in Week 2
By Randy Gurzi
The New Orleans Saints look to bounce back from a disappointing loss in Week 1. This week, they play the Cleveland Browns and these 3 players will be key to getting a win
The New Orleans Saints host the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 of the 2018 NFL Season. After an upsetting 48-40 loss against Tampa Bay, they hope for a bounce-back game to get to 1-1.
With Cleveland coming off a 0-16 season in 2017, you would think this was the perfect team to try and recover against. However, this isn’t the same team that was winless — and won just once in 2016.
The Browns are a much stronger opponent and they proved that by erasing a late 14-point deficit against the Steelers in Week 1 to force a tie. To avoid being the first team to lose to the Browns since Christmas Eve in 2016, the Saints have to realize they’re no easy out.
Looking past them could have a devastating result. In order to ensure that doesn’t happen, head coach Sean Payton needs to make sure they’re all focused and ready to go. They will also need a few guys to step up and lift them to a Week 2 win.
Here we look at three such members of the Saints who will be key to notching a victory in their home opener this Sunday.
