The 49ers drop their 3rd game of the season to the Browns 45-24. The Browns defense smothered the 49ers receivers all game long in a simple gameplan of man and bump. The receivers couldn't get any seperation and George Kittle was injured early so that took away the only advantage in the pass game the 49ers had. Garrett sacked Rodgers 3 times, and the Browns defense picked off Rodgers 3 times in the win.
Barkley was the lone bright spot as he rushed for 218 yards and 2 TDs but that was not nearly enough as the 49ers defense let up big play after big play especially in the pass game. Somehow receivers and tight eneds were getting wide open deep down field for long TDs as Carr finished the game with 427 yards passing and 4 TDs.
"We have to clean up the defense and find ways to get receivers open or we're going to be out of this race soon" - Coach Dypko
