Half-Time Report: Cleveland Browns hold surprise New Orleans Saints lead

The Cleveland Browns are leading the New Orleans Saints 16-10 at the break of their NFL clash this evening.

The Browns got off to an excellent start as they stopped a Drew Brees offense and moved down the field themselves with good plays out of the backfield from Terrance West.

Brian Hoyer put his team on the board with a three-yard touchdown strike to Miles Austin.

Cleveland extended their lead as they took advantage of a mistake by Patrick Robinson, who jumped into the neutral zone on a missed field goal, and Billy Cundiff fired a kick through the posts from 32 yards.

The Saints got on the scoreboard with Shayne Graham's field goal, but they fell further behind when a Brees pass was intercepted by Tashaun Gipson, who ran the ball back 44 yards for a touchdown.

However, just before the break, Brees drove his side down the field and he connected with Jimmy Graham in the endzone for the nine-yard score.
