Trying to make a play on a punt return during the second quarter against the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints rookie receiver Barion Brown made a huge mistake — losing control of the ball after reversing field twice trying to find a seam.

Cleveland recovered at the Saints’ 19-yard line, giving the Browns a prime scoring opportunity in what was a low-scoring first half.

After the play, Saints quarterback Tyler Shough found Brown on the Saints bench — and NFL cameras and microphones caught what he had to say.

“Hey, the best part about it is you get to do it again, you get to go out there and play again,” Shough told Brown. “It’s all good. Shoot your shot, get your yards, get down. We’ve all fumbled before, you know what I’m saying? You’ll learn from it, and it ain’t going to happen again. Keep your energy, keep your juice, because we’re going to need you on another play.”

“We’ve got 2-minute drill coming up, and then we’ve got the rest of the game. You can be mad about it later, but right now, how you talk to yourself matters. After the game, be pissed, but right now, who cares?”

The Saints defense ended up making the fumble moot with a goal-line stand.

And Brown ended up making up for his mistake with a couple of big returns later in the game. His 20-yard punt return inside of the final two minutes of regulation set up a short field that the Saints used to score a go-ahead touchdown.
