The 49ers (5-1) lost 19-17 to the Browns (3-2) after rookie kicker Jake Moody missed a 41-yard field-goal try with six seconds remaining.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy scrambles away from Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023, in Cleveland. CLEVELAND – The 49ers were denied a franchise-record 16th straight regular-season win Sunday, no matter how close they came to rallying past the Browns.
The 49ers had rallied earlier in the fourth quarter for a 17-13 lead, which they took on Jordan Mason’s 8-yard touchdown run, one snap after Deommodore Lenoir interception. Cleveland got a late reprieve when 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. drew a penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver on third-and-10. The Browns marched down field, and after Oren Burks failed to snag a potential interception in the end zone, Dustin Hawkins kicked a go-ahead, 29-yard field goal with 1:40 remaining. It was Hawkins’ fourth field goal of the second half.
Casting a pall over that first half – and a 50-minute long first quarter – were injuries to Samuel and Trent Williams . Samuel headed to the locker room with his injury, and Williams was able to remain in the game. McCaffrey also got banged up along the way. He sustained an oblique injury in the third quarter, and, at that point, he had run for 43 yards on 11 carries, five of which went for no gain or negative yards.
How would the 49ers ramp up their intensity after last Sunday night’s 42-10 rout of the Dallas Cowboys? That answer was answered before kickoff, when about 15 players from each side got into a scrum. Browns players appeared to take exception to Aiyuk and Samuel, and Williams rushed in to shove Elijah Moore away from Samuel.
