The Cleveland Browns secondary has finally intercepted a pass, thanks to their Pro Bowl cornerback, Denzel Ward, against the New Orleans Saints.
Ward intercepted Saints utility player and backup quarterback Taysom Hill at the end of the first quarter. The deep pass attempt was intended for wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was covered by both Ward and Browns safety Juan Thornhill. The ill-advised pass was a much-needed slump-buster for Cleveland, who has not had an interception in their last four games before today.
DENZEL WARD!!!

The Browns’ defensive backs have been struggling for a long time because they could not intercept a pass in the secondary. Despite facing some elite quarterbacks in most of their previous matchups, this has been unacceptable. The interception by Taysom Hill means that we will most likely see starting quarterback Derek Carr throw most of the passes for the remainder of the afternoon.
We’ll see if the Browns can intercept him as well and manage to continue bringing the momentum to their side.
