There could only be one winner, as Saints linebacker Demario Davis stood opposite of Cleveland’s heavy-personnel package, featuring a single receiver, a lead blocker, and one of league history’s premier short-yardage running backs soon headed his way. Blending power and intuition of his own, the 13-year linebacker met the Browns’ four-time Pro Bowl back at the midfield logo, capturing a trademark tackle that curtained the opening drive on fourth-and-short. Such a play was a tonesetter as Davis accumulated 13 tackles (10 solo) — the fourth-most of his 209-game NFL career — alongside one for a loss and two passes defended, helping secure New Orleans’ big-play-heavy 35-14 win on Nov. 17, 2024.
