The television networks have been all-in with the Browns this year. The game against the San Francisco 49ers marked the third primetime contest in which Cleveland was featured despite it being only Week 5. There was no way the schedule-makers could have predicted a 3-0 Niners club against the 2-2 Browns much less both were current division leaders.
Everyone had expected that the Browns offense would be the pinnacle of the club, but so far the defense is who has shined each game. The 49ers were ranked Top-6 in both offense and defense before kickoff.
