Jameis Winstn's New Orleans Reunion wasn't filled with the warm and fuzzies he hoped it would. There were certainly stretches where it looked like Winston was
There were certainly stretches where it looked like Winston was poised to play spoiler against his former team. The 30-year-old QB kept his well-documented wildness in check for the most part, completing 30-of-46 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns. He put on an absolute show in his return to the Bayou.
It was Winston who was first up against his former team to start the game. The offense picked up one first down on the opening drive, leaning on Nick Chubb for two six-yard gains. Several plays later, Cleveland faced a fourth-and-one at the Saints 49 and Chubb's fourth touch of the drive was not quite so fruitful as Cleveland quickly turned it over on downs.
On the first play of their third drive, which started at the 11, Winston stepped up in the pocket unleashed a dart to Jerry Jeudy streaking across the field toward the sideline. Jeudy did the rest, dodging the last line of defense in Saints CB Kool-Aid Mckinstry – with a block assists from Cedric Tillman – to take it 89 yards for a touchdown.
Unfortunately, the Browns couldn't capitalize on the turnover, and the Saints quickly fired back with a three-play touchdown drive, that featured a 71-yard TD pass to Valdes-Scantling, who did most of the work after finding a soft spot in the Browns zone.
