More struggles in another Browns loss

Brock Purdy doing the Dougie after scoring on a 2-yard keeper late in the third quarter was one of the highlights of San Francisco’s 26-8 victory. The QB also passed for a touchdown as the 49ers spoiled Shedeur Sanders’ first home start.“I thought it was pretty good. He had pressure on him to do it. He couldn’t let his teammates down,” coach Kyle Shanahan said.Cleveland took an 8-7 lead late in the second quarter when Sanders hooked up with Harold Fannin Jr. for a 34-yard touchdown and Quinshon Judkins‘ run added the 2-point conversion. But San Francisco (9-4) scored the next 19 points in its third consecutive win.San Francisco started its second drive at the Cleveland 16 after Moore’s long punt return. The Niners capped a six-play drive when Christian McCaffrey went 2 yards up the middle on third-and-goal with 8:12 remaining in the first quarter.

“We were hoping we could get some turnovers and some big plays from special teams, which we got a huge one with Skyy on the return,” Shanahan said. “When you play that way, just eventually you’re going to get the points.”

The Niners scored on Purdy’s run after they got the ball on the Browns 32 when Luke Gifford recovered a fumble by Fannin after the rookie tight end lined up under center on fourth-and-1.

A muffed punt by Cleveland’s Gage Larvadain at the Cleveland 18 set up Jennings’ score six plays later.

“There’s going to be things that we can clean up, but you can’t play that way. Putting a good team on a short field that many times,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said.
