Game Preview
There are still two unbeaten teams in the league, and one of them is the San Francisco 49ers. They board a train headed east to take on the Cleveland Browns, who are returning off of a bye week, in Week 6.
Although running back Christian McCaffrey of the 49ers had been dominant this season with 3 contests of 100 yards or more, he was limited to just 51 yards and committed a fumble in a 42-10 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. As Brock Purdy tossed 4 touchdown passes, including 3 to tight end George Kittle, San Francisco’s offense didn’t skip a beat.
On Sunday Night Football in Week 5, the 49ers tight end George Kittle showed everyone why he’s considered one among the league’s finest at his position by pulling in 3 receptions for 67 yards and a trio of touchdowns. He is one of numerous weapons the 49ers have at their disposal throughout every match.
Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Browns, is dealing with a shoulder ailment. He was not there for Cleveland’s 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4’s divisional game. A 19-of-36 performance for 121 yards and 3 interceptions by Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Uncertainty surrounds Watson’s availability for this contest.
In Nick Chubb’s absence, a running back must step up to allow the Browns offense to regain its footing. In comparison to Chubb’s 6.1 yards per carry before suffering a season-ending injury, Jerome Ford is currently averaging 3.7 yards per rush so far this season. So the Browns need Ford to improve his game to help the team in this less than ideal situation.
The 49ers last opened a season 6-0 in 2019, when they embarked on an 8-game winning run. When these two sides last met, San Francisco prevailed 31-3 in that match.
