NEW ORLEANS -- David Bowens returned two of Drew Brees' four interceptions for touchdowns, and the Cleveland Browns took a stunning 30-17 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Saints on Sunday.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy passed for just 74 yards, but he got his first win as an NFL starter -- a desperately needed one for the struggling Browns (2-5). Peyton Hillis rushed for a 4-yard score for Cleveland's only offensive touchdown.
Scott Fujita and Sheldon Brown also had interceptions for the Browns. Brees was sacked three times, once by Fujita, who was a defensive leader for the Saints last season.
The Saints (4-3) trailed all game and pulled no closer in the second half than 20-10 on Brees' 11-yard TD pass to David Thomas early in the fourth quarter.
