Coming off the first opening-game loss in franchise history, the 1955 Cleveland Browns headed west for a Week 2 matchup with a familiar foe in the San Francisco 49ers.
Cleveland and San Francisco first faced each other in 1946 as charter members of the All-America Football Conference. The Browns held a 9-3 edge over the 49ers, including a win in the final game of the AAFC – the 1949 title game.
But one of those three losses to the 49ers was an historic one.
On Oct. 9, 1949, the Browns traveled to Kezar Stadium having not lost a game in almost two years – an unbeaten streak of 29 consecutive games.
