Browns vs. 49ers: Week 13 Need to Know

The Cleveland Browns close out the month of November when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Cleveland comes into the game fresh off a win against the Las Vegas Raiders, which was fueled by a defense that pocketed 10 sacks, and an offensive outburst from Rookie of the Week nominee Dylan Sampson.

The 49ers had a short week after beating the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, and are looking to stay in the playoff race in the competitive NFC West Division.

While the standings may favor the 49ers in this matchup, the Browns have only lost twice at home to San Francisco since 1950, so there may be a few surprises on tap for Sunday afternoon.
