PREVIEW: 49ers vs Browns Week 13 - Purdy’s Challenge, Shedeur Sanders, and a Defensive Showdown
Description
The 49ers (8-4) head into Week 13 looking for their third straight win against a tough Browns (3-8) defense. San Francisco’s defense is playing its best football of the season, forcing five turnovers in the last two games and showing major improvement in coverage and tackling.
The matchup centers on the quarterbacks. Shedeur Sanders flashed in his debut but still struggled with accuracy and rhythm. With a weak run game and unreliable receivers, the 49ers can force him into mistakes if they stay disciplined.
Brock Purdy must rebound after a three-INT performance and now faces the NFL’s No. 2 pass defense, led by Myles Garrett, who’s chasing the sack record. Cleveland allows just 132 passing yards per game at home, so the 49ers will need to lean on CMC, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings in the short game to take advantage of the Browns’ tackling issues and slow down their pass rush.
