A win is a win no matter what, but it does not mean the New Orleans Saints have to be happy about it.
The Saints needed an 18-point fourth quarter to emerge from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with a 21-18 win against the Browns, because much of the first 45 minutes was spent either missing opportunities or making costly errors.
"It wasn't a very good performance by us," quarterback Drew Brees said.
New Orleans lost two fumbles for the second consecutive week, including another fumble by standout receiver Michael Thomas, who has been magnificent otherwise.
